Aurora: Painting the Sky

BVPIEEE RAS conducted a 5 days drone workshop series called Aurora: Painting the Sky, in collaboration with Makers and Drishti SIGs.
The workshop took place on 28.12.2018-4.01.2019 in the library. The focus of the workshop was to recreate the natural phenomena- aurora a.k.a. Northern lights using drones and light painting techniques and finally draw shapes, patterns and images in the sky. Siddhart Talia (Makers Head) along with Kshitij Sidana (RnD Head, RAS) initiated the workshop by explaining students about drones, the various components that go into its making and related concepts such as control algorithms and path planning. Kshitij then apprised the students about photography concepts like ISO, shutter speed, exposure and f-stop. The later days of the workshop witnessed the presence of E-cell Head, who inspired the students to use this knowledge and come up with solutions to everyday problems with the goal of building a start-up. Towards the end of the series, students implemented the concepts learnt and drew some images in the sky using the technique of light painting, accomplished by the use of drones having autonomous capabilities.
With a footfall of 64 attendees from different colleges, all geared up to apply the concepts learnt about 3D printing, architecture, project planning, drone delivery, transportation and various other fields, the workshop was a big success.
