The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Mathematics in Aeronautics? Join us to learn how to use an x-y plane to plot coordinate pairs, determine the distance between points by several mathematic methods including using the distance formula and the Pythagorean Theorem. Also we will learn about the different types of Unmmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and the work NASA is doing to make UAS flight safer within the National Airspace System (NAS). For over four decades, UAV's have been a part of NASA's fleet and some of their uses have included remote sensing for Earth sciences studies, hyperspectral imaging for agriculture monitoring, tracking of storms, and serving as telecommmunications relay platforms. Propeller Design Challenge, where the studnets will apply Mathematics and will engage in a cooperative game play with other teams to simulate navigating a drone from a starting to an end point. The team who will cover the shortest distance will win the game. Participants will have access to UAS educator guides, instructional Power Point presentation, NASA STEM videos, and NASA resources.
