Steven Roberts

Roberts’ innovative teaching idea, “Building Quadcopters,” is focused on teaching students how to use computer-aided design and apply engineering to the process of building quadcopters. Students involved in the program will learn about production and systems technologies that keep multi-rotors in flight. In addition to uses in the classroom, “Building Quadcopters” will support other classes at Liberty Middle School through the use of drones and 3D printing opportunities. A 3D printer will allow students to print models for use in science, health occupations and robotics classes. These tools will have endless impact beyond the initial project and will greatly help to generate interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning opportunities.
