Discover the Science
of the Skies
Horizons invites students to explore the fascinating world of aviation, blending cutting-edge STEAM concepts with cultural wisdom. Students engage in hands-on projects like programing robotics, building and soldering custom drones, flight simulations, and constructing indigenous tools to understand the physics of flight while applying the Engineering Design Process to solve real-world challenges.
From understanding the aerodynamics of flight to using drones for mapping and surveying, Horizon equips students with the knowledge and skills to soar academically and professionally. By integrating modern technology and cultural heritage, the program inspires a deep connection to both the past and the future.
-
Hands-On Aviation Projects: Develop a better understanding of the world we live in by learning the physics and fundamentals of flight with hands on projects and easy to understand experiments. Hone your drone flying skills by using simulators and practical flight experience.
-
Engineering Design Process: Use this step-by-step framework to design, test, and refine aviation-related projects. Use advanced software to design and 3D print custom drone frames and develop the critical thinking skills needed to tackle aviation challenges.
-
Cultural Integration: Discover how cultural hunting techniques, indigenous tool design, and traditional knowledge demonstrates the same principles of physics we use in our modern technology.
-
Career Pathways: Explore opportunities in aviation, from piloting and robotics to drone technology. Earn your TRUST certification and learn to safely take flight, then prepare for your part 107 test to open career opportunities as a drone pilot!
