The document discusses using drones to enable student projects exploring the intersection of art and technology through activities like mapping sacred forests and lava flows. It also mentions using drones to loan to students, capture footage of sports events, create promotional videos of campus buildings, record unique campus events, take photographs of hard to reach places, facilitate inspections and construction monitoring, enhance field projects, and monitor agricultural and environmental conditions. A drone course is also proposed.
