My Project

In today's rapidly evolving world, technology plays a crucial role in shaping the future. I want to give my students an exciting opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technology through the use of drones. With drones, students can explore real-world applications of STEM concepts, including physics, coding, engineering, and mathematics.

Through this project, my students will learn how drones work, practice basic coding to control their flight and engage in collaborative projects that challenge their problem-solving skills.

By flying drones, they will also get hands-on experience with aerodynamics and physics, learning how principles like lift, drag and thrust come into play.

This interactive learning experience will foster creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork while encouraging students to envision careers in fields like engineering, robotics, and technology. With your generous support, we can provide a unique learning opportunity that sparks a passion for STEM and innovation in the next generation of thinkers and problem solvers.
