My Project

Ensuring student safety while engaging in hands-on STEM activities is a top priority. As our Geometry students explore three-dimensional objects and fundamental concepts such as angles, lines, circles, and planes through drone technology, it is essential to provide a safe and controlled environment for learning. A Pop-Up Drone Enclosure with Professional Drone Netting will allow students to practice drone maneuvers while minimizing risks, ensuring that all participants can engage in lessons and competitions without concerns about safety. This enclosure will create a designated flight zone, preventing accidents and promoting responsible drone operation.

Purchasing a Pop-Up Drone Enclosure with Professional Drone Netting will support our high school students by providing a secure space for them to develop their drone piloting and geometry skills.

By integrating this enclosure into our classroom and competition setup, we can enhance STEM learning while prioritizing student safety. This addition will not only allow for practical applications of math concepts but also foster interest in engineering, aviation, and robotics—all within a structured and protected learning environment.
