it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Help give my students a drone to enhance STEAM learning. Students will use creativity, and real-world problem-solving as they figure out new projects and uses for the drone. Students can explore physics, engineering, and aerodynamics through hands-on flight mechanics while gaining experience in photography, mapping, and data analysis. The drone will also support career exploration in related fields. This drone provides a dynamic, immersive learning experience that fosters innovation and critical thinking. Drones unlock new creative opportunities in photography, filmmaking, and storytelling. Students can produce high-quality videos, document school events and create digital portfolios that showcase their talents. With advanced camera technology and stabilization features, DJI drones make professional-level media production accessible.
