STEM Education for a Global Tech Economy
By promoting K-12 STEM education, we hope to create a sustainable pipeline for training a domestic workforce that is capable of meeting the demands of an ever-expanding global tech economy.
In addition to opening the door to engineering and technology careers, science and math skills are an essential part of the academic core that will make students competitive in higher education and a variety of other occupations (law, medicine, finance, business, etc.).
When we consider that nearly 65% of the jobs that our kids will fill have not been invented yet, it becomes clear that we must prepare them to adapt dynamically to rapidly evolving advances in technology. STEM education is the key!
Drones – A Gateway to STEM learning
As a vehicle for STEM learning, drones might be described as the “chemistry set” of the modern era – allowing students and DIY practitioners an unparalleled opportunity to experiment with a variety of ‘maker’ technologies, including 3D printing, coding, and hardware design.
Unmanned technologies provide a gateway to a diverse array of engineering disciplines and STEM content areas – e.g. computer science, engineering fields, material sciences, computational and applied math, etc.
By engaging students in exciting, project-based learning that connects to their own interests and strengths, we foster academic growth and excellence, while creating pathways to life-long learning.
