Episode 2 of STEM in the Stacks With Drone Legends is Here, Friends!

 

Episode 2 of STEM in the Stacks is here!

In this episode, Jennifer Sancedio-Boatman and I spoke with Scott Buell, founder of Drone Legends about his unique journey from advertising executive to STEM education innovator. 

It was such a fun and interesting conversation as Scott shared how Drone Legends was built to give educators both the technology and the curriculum to engage students in real-world learning. It’s more than drones, it’s a full STEM solution.

You can watch this episode here.

And you can find Drone Legends on the STEMfinity site here.

I can't wait to bring Drone Legends and all of the inspiration Scott shared to our school next fall!
