Parts of the Drone...
Propellers & motors: Provide lift, thrust, and direction.
Sensors: Gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, infrared sensors for stability and navigation.
Processor (flight controller): Interprets code/commands and sensor data to control movement.
Battery: Powers motors, sensors, and communication systems.
Communication module (Bluetooth/IR): Connects the drone to the student’s controller or laptop.
Frame & body: Holds everything together and protects parts.
LED lights: Give visual feedback during flight (status, mode, errors).

Parts of the Ozobot...
Sensors: Detect lines, colors, and codes on paper or screen.
Motors & wheels: Move the robot forward, backward, or turn.
Processor (tiny computer inside): Interprets the sensor data and decides what to do.
Battery: Provides energy for all functions.
LED lights: Give feedback with colors.
Shell/outer case: Protects internal parts.

Parts of the 3D Printer...
Extruder/print head: Heats and melts filament, depositing it layer by layer.
Build plate/print bed: The flat surface where the 3D object is printed.
Filament spool & feeder system: Provides the plastic filament and pushes it into the extruder.
Processor (control board): Interprets digital 3D models (G-code) and directs printer actions.
Motors & belts: Move the print head and build plate along the X, Y, and Z axes.
Sensors: Detect bed leveling, filament flow, and sometimes temperature consistency.
Power supply: Provides electrical energy for heating and movement.
Enclosure (case): Protects the print environment and internal components.

One output of the 3D Printer.
3D printed object: The final physical model, prototype, or part.
Movement & sound: Motors and fans generate motion and noise during printing.
Heat: From the extruder and build plate.
Light signals: Status LEDs for printer readiness or errors.
Feedback/data: Printer display or software reports print progress, errors, or completion.
