WHY MAKE A DRONE?
"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge" — Carl Sagan
Make A Drone believes that STEM education is a critical avenue in which to inspire the next generation of innovators.
Children are fabulously intelligent and creative. If we can incite enough curiosity, ideas and critical thinking pathways will take seed and the rest will take care of itself.
WHAT IS MAKE A DRONE STEM?
Make A Drone STEM is a full-service, hands-on solution to STEM education. Unlike conventional programs, there are no fractures in the flow of absorption. The children learn about, build and operate their flying robots in one organic narrative.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Make A Drone STEM program is a complement of three parts:
1. An animated presentation explains why technology is important and how drones and pizza and smartphones are interconnected. Once the information is in context, the assortment of drone parts in front of them will gain meaning.
2. The kids assemble their drones by following step-by-step building instructions. Even though the children are playing, they are actually getting their first taste of hands-on experience with robotics hardware.
3. The "learn, build, fly" model culminates here. Their efforts are rewarded with the satisfaction of flying their newly made drones with each other.
Our animated educational short—Where do drones come from and how do they work?
Our Make A Drone STEM program has been operating for over three years. Our team has tailored the hands-on learning experience to maximize fun and engagement. We strive to make every experience special and continue to pursue excellence.
