Don’t Just Break Barriers. Fly Over Them.
Aerospace. Aviation. Engineering. Robotics.For decades, women have been told—directly and indirectly—that these aren’t “their” fields. Yet when women step into these industries, innovation spikes and leadership levels up. Funny how that works. The drone industry isn’t just another tech niche. It’s one of the fastest-growing sectors in aerospace, with new roles emerging faster than most…
Read MoreThe U-Hawk Takes Flight: How Sikorsky’s Unmanned Black Hawk Redefines the Future of Aerial Logistics
What’s New Here Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, has turned a standard UH-60L Black Hawk into a fully unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in roughly ten months.

How the 5 P’s Turn Ideas Into Real-World Creations
Innovation doesn’t just happen — it’s built, step by step. At the Franklin Center for Innovation, we teach students and creators to turn ideas into impact through a hands-on framework we call the 5 P’s: Proposal, Pattern Making, Prototyping, Production, and Presentation. Each stage builds essential skills in communication, design, fabrication, and entrepreneurship. Whether you’re…

Ever since she was a little girl, Morgan Harrison had her eyes on the stars. Last December, she walked across the graduation stage at MSU with a degree in Space Systems Engineering and a résumé already stamped with “researcher, Space Science Center.” Now, she’s not chasing a dream — she’s building it. “When you tell…

author – Logan L. Masterson Manufacturing, Engineering, Technology, Hypothesis, Observation, Design & Systemization M.E.T.H.O.D.S is an acronym describing the learning and development process practiced by digital fabricators. It is cyclical in nature, meaning that once the end is reached, the process starts all over again, whether for the refinement of a project or the beginning of a…
Read MoreTaking STEM to New Heights
At Drone Flight School, our tagline “Where STEM Takes Flight” is more than a slogan—it’s a mission statement. We’re redefining what it means to learn science, technology, engineering, and math by taking it out of the textbook and into the sky. Every flight becomes an experiment, every project a challenge, and every student a pilot…
Read MoreA Drone Song for Kids Learning to Fly “Yaw, Pitch, Throttle, Roll!” (Drone Song for Kids)
Learning to fly drones isn’t just about thumb skills and joysticks — it’s about understanding control. Every drone pilot, from beginner to expert, needs to know four key words: Throttle, Yaw, Pitch, and Roll. At Drone Flight School, we believe learning should be hands-on, memorable, and fun — and sometimes, that means turning flight theory…
Read MoreWhen the Maker Puts Down the Soldering Iron and Picks Up WordPress Again
There’s a familiar hum that fills the workshop late at night: the whirr of a CNC spindle, the quiet beep of a 3D printer cooling down, or the rhythmic tapping of a keyboard assembling G-code. For years, that’s been Jason “digi” Allen’s world. But every maker knows: you keep learning, or you rust. Recently, Jason…
