Invigorating Learning and Career Technical Education with Discover Drones
Outside of a learning environment, can you remember the last time you used the Pythagorean Theorem, the Bernoulli Principle or basic chemistry in your day-to-day life? It’s true that these lessons, the hours of studying formulas or practicing mathematical proofs, are used as foundational stepping stones for continued learning, meaning that while it isn’t being used daily, it is still constructive to continued education, but the root of the question still goes unanswered. Why aren’t students learning about the things they are interested in? Why aren’t they learning about the things they will use in the real world of work? Well, this is where Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs come in.

Tracing STEAM with the Mother of Science Fiction
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is a British author, best known for her novel Frankenstein. As a widow, mother, philosopher, writer and ostracised political radical living in Victorian England, Shelley paved the path for forward-thinking women as she broke free from the Romantic and enlightenment ideals of her era. Frankenstein, a gothic and philosophical novel, narrates the consequences of a scientist who artificially creates a human being. A familiar monster in modern science fiction stories and films, Shelley’s Frankenstein changed the perception of what the writing of her time could look like. A figurehead of STEAM learning, her life, and her novel, perfectly combine science and the arts.
