This year, we have implemented a Technology club at our elementary campus. The goal of the club is to expose students to the different ways in which technology can be used in real life situations as well as give them opportunities to engage in the learning through firsthand experience. The club integrates a combination of different mediums of technology such as graphic design, photography, video, editing, and coding. While we the students have had opportunities to engage in activities centering around these topics, I would like to further enhance their learning and love of technology. Technology is an area that fuels innovation and advancement in our communities, societies, and our world, yet, unfortunately, many students do not always get the opportunity to engage in it.
It is my hope and belief that affording students the opportunity to work with drones can truly foster an interest in just one of the many cornerstones of a STEM education that could help them realize the infinite possibilities in technology and for their future. I would like for them to be able to establish deeper connections between technology to real-world applications and I believe that using drones can help bridge this gap. Not only would students be able to fly them using basic controls, they would also be able to learn how to create lines of code to program them to perform basic maneuvers. I believe that by giving them this opportunity, it can open up a world of endless opportunities for them one day by showing them some of the amazing tasks that can be performed using technology.
