Day 3 of Aeronautical Engineering Week: Wheels up! 🛫🚁

Our BRSTEM campers took their engineering skills to new heights—literally! We traded the drawing boards for flight controllers and learned the fundamentals of piloting drones. From understanding lift and thrust to mastering precise indoor hovering, these future pilots and engineers crushed their first flight training session.

Watching their faces light up as they took control and cleared obstacles was the absolute highlight of the day. The sky isn’t the limit; it’s just the starting line!

Big shoutout to JaMarkus Fobbs II, who recently completed the BRSTEM Fellows Summer Intensive! 🌟

JaMarkus is a straight-A student with big goals of pursuing a career in Biology Research. When he’s not focusing on academics and STEM, you can find him playing basketball or reading books at home.

We are so proud of your hard work, dedication, and leadership this summer, JaMarkus! Keep reaching for the stars! 🧬📚🏀
