STEAM Lab participants pose with their Wi-Fi controlled drones at Saint Mary’s University
During the winter term, a group of students took on the challenge of building fully functioning, Wi-Fi-controlled drones. The workshop was hosted by STEAM Lab, an exciting hands-on program where university students bring STEAM concepts to life by building their own projects over six interactive sessions.
Throughout the program, students enhanced their skills in electronics, programming, 3D printing, and design in a supportive environment that was open to learners from all backgrounds. At the end of the program, they kept the drones they built.
“STEAM Lab has been an incredible experience, providing hands-on learning in an engaging way,” said Abdiaziz Aden Muse. “Through this program, I’ve gained valuable problem-solving skills, collaborated on exciting projects, and explored innovative ideas that sparked my curiosity. The supportive environment and knowledgeable mentors made learning both fun and rewarding. STEAM Lab has truly inspired me to think creatively and approach challenges with confidence.”
“The drone building, programming and collaborative environment allowed me to explore new technologies while building real-world applications,” said Michael Ofori Maccarthy.
