The Project Fibonacci Foundation is proud to bring together educators and their students to experience and learn about cutting-edge technologies. These single and multi-day events occur throughout the school year and summer. Teams of students and their teachers spend the day learning from recognized experts and professionals working in various STEAM fields.

Innovation Camp Goals: 1. Introduce participants to various topics, STEAM technologies, training and career opportunities. 2. Provide educators with technical expertise & resources enabling further learning to take place at school in co-curricular, stand-alone curriculum’s or as extra-curricular activities, such as Drone Technology Clubs

Drones, or unattended aerial systems/vehicles (UAS/V), have become increasingly important to the economic engine of upstate New York. With the NUAIR Alliance based at Griffiss International Airport in Rome, New York, one of seven UAS/V testing programs in the United States, and numerous research and development companies within the region, there is a regional focus on cutting-edge UAS/V technologies.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

  • Rules of the National Air Space
  • Aerodynamics
  • Safe operations of quadcopters
  • Flight simulation
  • Manual flight
  • Programming an autonomous flight path
  • Semi-automated package delivery
  • Small UAS/V components and repair
  • sUAS photography/videography
  • Drone racing and First Person View (FPV)
  • Sense and Avoid technologies
  • Local drone initiatives and training opportunities

And who better to learn from than those engaged in this work? At The Project Fibonacci® Foundation Drone Camps, teachers, public school students and college students learn from drone industry experts and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Certified Remote Pilots.

The Project Fibonacci® Foundation, Inc. is pleased to offer coding workshops using Java, one of the most popular programming languages used in the industry. Participants will have the opportunity to work with professional software engineers to develop code for an Android application that will control a real robot. These robots are used in FIRST® Tech Challenge tournaments in which teams consisting of students in 7th-12th grades can compete. Participants will also learn about agile software practices, debugging techniques, and source code management. These workshops will launch participants in becoming successful software developers.

STEAM Camps include an array of STEM and arts topics, hands-on and project-based learning options, performers, and speakers to inspire youth curiosity of science, technology, engineering, entrepreneurship, mathematics, and the arts.

Fostering curiosity, supporting deep learning, exploring cutting-edge applications of STEM, and enjoying the creativity of artistic expression are a few of the goals and outcomes of Project Fibonacci STEAM Camps.

EXAMPLES OF STEAM CAMPS:

  • Science- Fun Physics, Exploring Optics, Aerodynamics, Astronomy, Gastronomy, Let’s Colonize Mars
  • Technology- Drones, Robotics, Coding, RocketryEgn
  • Engineering & Entrepreneurship- Engineering Design Process, Innovation: From Concept to Market, Art of the Pitch
  • Arts- Improv Workshop, Keep the Conversation Going, Drumming, Create
  • Mathematics- Is in Everything We Do!
