Air Museum Awarded a Ready, Set, Drone Grant
Mid America Museum of Aviation and Transportation was awarded a Ready, Set, Drone grant by the Iowa Governor’s STEM Scale Up Program. The program is designed to aid 4th – 8th graders explore STEM learning and drone careers. The curriculum will be featured in museum summer camps or after school programs. Using mini drones, students will explore UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) technology, safety in using drones, capture aerial photos and videos, and explore the real-world applications and possibilities of drones. Students will use physics, collaborate in flight teams, tackle engineering challenges and use science notebooks to reflect on their UAV experiences. Jenn Taylor, board member and grant author said, “We strive to bring aviation related experiences to youth to foster a passion and excitement that may encourage them to seek an aviation related career in the future. The drone program would offer youth the opportunity to use technology and problem-solving skills to enrich their education.” READ MORE The drone program would offer youth the opportunity to use technology and problem-solving skills to enrich their education.” Fun Memories from an SNJ take off - July, 2022
