Three groups collaborate to open young minds to the wonders of engineering.
During the visit, Dr. Tesfamichael answered student questions and shared her recent publication, Aerial Lookbook, Unleashing Drone Literacy for Inclusive Skies. The book includes 100 immersive aerial views taken from drones and was released on February 19, 2023, marking the 81st anniversary of the Tuskegee Airmen’s initiation into the United States Armed Forces.
“Exposure to different disciplines, different ideas, different representations, and different interpretations of STEM concepts in a fun environment is what I believe unlocks curiosity in learners,” Tesfamichael remarked.
