eighth graders at nurana Middle School are learning a unique skill and trying to send their finished product into the sky it's in a partnership with ui's mechanical science and engineering program WC3 Jared Thomas visited the class as they were putting the finishing touches on their drones engineering it's actually kind of the coolest job in the world you get to invent you get paid to invent things eth gr is that Campus Middle School for Girls and our ban are already getting hands-on experience
in the industry it was really cool because like I have a few drones at home the Drone project began last year in May but the students didn't have enough time to complete it now they're finishing what they started Joe muskin from the ufi's mechanical science has been helping the girls with the process you're going to take this battery and you're going to put it on in the future we're really going to need a lot of new stem individuals you know it's like great paying jobs it's it's needed all over
the place he says the goal of the project is to teach young minds about nanotchnology and what some careers in engineering look like and it was cool just to be able to like design my own and see what really goes into like making a drone disappointed when we didn't wer weren't able to finish it so it was like nice to finally be able to finish this since we've been working on it for a while after building the drones the girls put their inventions to the test but things didn't go as plann the drone
s turned on but didn't take flight flying was on me that that was me um uh trying to program uh something he says just like in the real world things don't always go as plann when working with technology and it all goes into The Learning Experience reporting in Urbana Jared Thomas WC3 your local news leader muskin says the plan is to go back to the drawing board to figure out what went wrong and get the drones in the air soon
