Students of Harmony School of Innovation will begin building drones this fall after Educate Texas awarded their campus $25,000 to purchase equipment.
Both engineering and forensic science students will join together to build a scaled down version of an autonomous Smart Car, which can be used to collect evidence at crime scenes. They will also use 3D printers to retrofit drones that can be used in search and rescue missions
