A drone flies where you tell it, so you need to know the wind, read a map, and track its exact spot. School gives you all three.

## The topics behind it

- [Pushes & Pulls](https://lightmysky.com/learn/science/pushes-and-pulls-mt_B3W5EfimJw): Small pushes tilt and lift the drone in every direction.
- [Geography & Local Weather](https://lightmysky.com/learn/science/geography-and-local-weather-mt_hjJkBWruO6): Local weather tells you if the wind will blow your drone off course.
- [Thematic Maps and GIS](https://lightmysky.com/learn/geography/thematic-maps-and-gis-mt_khsAUcwLke): Map layers show the ground you fly over and what to avoid.
- [Similarity and enlargement](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/similarity-and-enlargement-mt_y-BuQAfw4B): Coordinates let you send the drone to an exact point.
- [Simple Programs: Sequences and Instructions](https://lightmysky.com/learn/computing/simple-programs-sequences-and-instructions-mt_IUvBwahibH): You set a flight path as a list of steps the drone follows in order.
