Ryan Nitschke

We are team D.R.O.N.E. of Project Reservoir.  Our team name stands for Drones Recording Our Natural Environment. Our members Daniel, Fritz, Diana, Samantha, and Ryan’s plans are to use drones with thermal imaging technology to check the health of trees and map them.We are able to achieve this goal by studying the temperature of trees during different times of the day. This will give us the data necessary to tell if the tree is healthy or dying. We will also be making a virtual reality tour of the tree canopies. We are trying to use this modern technology to find out more about our natural environment and how we can improve it.

ABOUT

Hey, my name is Ryan. I am 13. I'm the co-pilot of our team and our public speaker. I'm second in command when flying the drone.  I'm also in charge of mapping all the trees. Although I do all that my main focus is fixing and taking care of the drones. I do the tutorial videos and talk more about our project.
