Fly Girls RPV

Dr. Sally Creel, Alana Davis, Alexa Dean, and Tamieka Grizzle

The sky's the limit for young women participating in our Fly Girls RPV program. Fly Girls was developed to introduce young women in grades four through eight to aerospace using drones. We are using this year as an opportunity to re-imagine this program for a remote learning environment. That is how Fly Girls RPV (Remote Person View) was launched. We partnered with CEFGA, Construction Education Foundation of Georgia, and Kennesaw State University, to locate female drone pilots to speak to students. Women are an underrepresented population in STEM. We wanted our Fly Girls to learn about careers where drones are used and highlight women who do these jobs. Our Fly Girls complete missions that integrate STEAM practices. In this session we'll share what we did, how we did it and how you can too!
