🌟Grantee Spotlight🌟

This year, Michael Hall expanded Code & Fly Club, a popular STEM program at Walker Winter Elementary. With funds from WWEF, he was able to complete a class set of drones and add more obstacles!

Students work independently and collaboratively to plan, code, and test the flight path of their drones. This week, young programmer/pilots worked to navigate their drones through 3 separate hoops.

On top of coding, club members practice the skills of observation, problem solving, caring for equipment, and spatial awareness as they navigate around the drones of their peers and the occasional haywire drone! They ask questions like "Why did it do that?" and "Why is it going so fast all of the sudden?" and the ever-prevalent "What the heck?!" as conditions such as backdraft and coding errors change the anticipated outcome of a flight trial.

Thanks to our generous donors and supporters, Wayne Westland Education Foundation can support innovative educators like Mr. Hall as he expands the reach of exciting STEM programming for elementary students.
