It incorporates lessons and activities in 3D modeling, flight simulation, and piloting drones which are designed to bolster students’ interest and engagement in mathematics and science learning. Indeed, the overarching purpose of the project is to create new STEM Pathways that provide unique learning opportunities for underrepresented students.
