Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

"Flight to the Future: STEM Drones and Dynamic Obstacle Navigation" is an innovative project designed to ignite the passion for STEM education among high school robotics club members, including those with exceptionalities.

Through this project, students will embark on an exciting journey of exploration and discovery as they learn to operate drones and navigate dynamic obstacle courses.

By engaging in hands-on activities, students will develop critical problem-solving skills, enhance their understanding of robotics principles, and foster collaboration within the team. Furthermore, this project aims to create an inclusive learning environment where students of all abilities can participate and thrive, empowering them to pursue future opportunities in STEM fields with confidence and enthusiasm. With your support, we can provide our students with the tools and resources they need to soar to new heights and shape the future of technology.
