This activity challenges middle school students to think like engineers and design a model drone that addresses a specific problem in their community. Inspired by Keller Rinaudo, the co-founder of Zipline, students apply their creativity and problem-solving skills to develop practical solutions using drone technology. Teachers introduce the concept of drones and their potential applications, highlighting the story of Keller Rinaudo. Students brainstorm problems in their community that

You are a researcher applying frugal science to a beach cleanup project. Your company has contracts from a recycling company and a rock and mineral firm to be paid for three of four substances found at a beach. The purer the substance, the more the company will pay. The salt, iron, and plastic will be sold, and the government requires ONLY pure sand to be deposited back on the beach.
