Throughout the Summer of 2017, FAME students will be engaged in over 140 hours, per student, of rigorous Problem Based Learning (PBL) lessons in the academic areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, Technology, and Science Lecture & Lab.  In addition to academic learning, students will also have the opportunity to visit local industry leaders to become emerged and introduced to real life STEM applications and careers.  With the support of FAME’s academic staff, students will build upon prior knowledge gained from previous sessions and work together in cooperative groups to learn, design, and build drones using various engineering techniques and 3D printing!
