My Project

My students are eager to engage with STEM in new and exciting ways, and drones offer the perfect blend of technology, engineering, and artistic exploration. Of course hands-on is the best way to learn! A drones center in our classroom (lab) will help them capture aerial footage, understand real-world applications of AI and automation, and develop problem-solving skills—all while having fun with hands-on learning.

Drones will also inspire my students to think beyond the classroom, introducing them to careers in engineering, filmmaking, surveying, and technology.

By donating, you’re not just funding equipment—you’re opening doors to future innovators, artists, and scientists.
