Jayson Robinson, Pete Lopez and Dr. Drew Swanson

The team’s innovative teaching idea, “Unmanned Aerial Systems,” focuses on developing a curriculum that encourages students to discover innovative skills and passions within the growing technological world. Their proposed Unmanned Aerial Systems class at Fort Collins High School will set the standard for the region, as no parallel course exists within the state of Colorado. This pioneering program will provide an overall introduction to the new age of unmanned flight, and help students develop UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) controls, operation and maintenance skills. Through this program, Robinson and his team hope to equip all students with employable skills for their future careers.
