Program Allows Kids To Build And Fly Drones, While Helping Them Grow In STEM Fields

A new program called Project Icarus is teaching kids how to build drones, while at the same time helping them grow in STEM fields, which focus in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Project Icarus, launched by the Texas-based Flynoceros Racing Drones, is a workshop that not only allows kids to build drones, but also teaches them how to fix and fly them. This is different from drone kits bought at stores that don't show users how repair them. Seven-year-old Ava builds her drone at a Project Icarus workshop. Although parents can buy a drone kit at a retail store, those products are sometimes cheap and can break easily after crashing.
