My Project

To "Invest in Our Future" in the LMS Digital X classroom, we will be learning about drone careers, building drones and completing hands-on STEM creativity and innovation challenges. As Pennsylvania transitions to the Science, Technology and Engineering, Environmental Literacy and Sustainability (STEELS) Standards our class will be incorporating the 4Cs of STEM (communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking through Innovation Challenges.

Our goal is to create the problem-solvers and innovators of our future within our classroom today!

We will be building, flying, and coding drones that we received through a PA SMART grant.

We need drone-building mats to keep our materials organized and safety glasses to stay safe while flying. The Sphero minis will allow us to design and build tabletop games. The pixel art and magnetic blocks will support our hands-on innovation through creativity challenges.
