We hope you enjoy our instructable and take it into careful consideration. We did something that many people in STEM didn't think we would be capable of doing, so in that sense we had what we would consider, a success. We feel proud of the creation we present before you now and aside from that we had a lot of fun and would love to do it again next year. The best we have as of now is it slightly taking off, about an inch or two off the ground.

We kept trying and it still would not work and while we couldn't catch the drone flying. We brought it to school and we tried to make it fly again and, much like the many times failed it wouldn't fly again. It was the first time we got it to fly, and sadly we did not get it on video. One day Chase was fiddling with the drone one day, not thinking it would fly because we had to fix a propeller and actually got it to fly. We had to figure it out by doing around 15/20 different tests. The drone just would not take off no matter what we did. We created the base by hand using our knowledge from Engineering class, which made us proud of ourselves and our Engineering teacher. Also I would like to add that we came up with the whole design of the drone base. To solve these issues we had to use many STEM qualities including: science to figure out the physics behind drones which allow them to fly, technology to 3D print the drones as well as altering parts to make it work, engineering to design the drone, and mathematics to determine the correct measurements to get the drone to fit in the 3D printer and balance it correctly. We had many problems along the way that needed to be solved such as correcting the weight of the drone to keep it balanced in air, solving several wiring issues we've had, and getting the motor to fit in correctly. This is the coolest things we've done all year! We worked really hard on it and ended up having 5 different 3D printed bases for the drone. We have decided to do a mini drone for the Best Award because it would be fun, creative, and something we've never done before. Hi, we are Michael Grebeck and Chase Leach of the Wilkes-Barre Area STEM Academy.
