Keep Us Up In The Air

Help me give my students drone supplies to provide new opportunities for STEM challenges.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Geary's classroom raised $330

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school has the privilege of hosting a growing after-school drone STEM program. Every year students have the opportunity to build their skills in drone technology, which has inspired a few participants to pursue a career path in this field. As student drone skills expand, more challenges are needed to continue to facilitate their growth. This year we want to work on drone precision skills and competitive flying. Having a drone release will allow students to drop bean bags with precise accuracy from a drone, as they challenge each other in aerial Tic Tac Toe. The student will also maximize their flying skills as they race through an obstacle course using the Syma drones.

Your contributions will ensure that the School of the Arts drone STEM program continues to inspire and challenge future drone pilots in new ways.

Please consider investing in a program that has already shown great success. Thank you for your consideration and help.
