On May 28, 2023, Afromaha, an organization dedicated to celebrating African culture, hosted the Dunia Youth Festival at the Gene Leahy Mall. This vibrant event brought together young minds, community organizations, and educational initiatives to promote learning and exploration. Among the participants were JuSTEMagine and Prairie STEM, two organizations committed to fostering interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
JuSTEMagine's board members, Francesca Vidal and Ansh Mishra played an instrumental role in promoting the organization's mission and engaging youth in exciting activities like drone flying.
One of the highlights of the Afromaha Dunia Youth Festival was the drone flying activity organized by Prairie STEM. In collaboration with Prairie STEM, JuSTEMagine helped run a thrilling drone flying activity for children. This hands-on experience allowed kids to explore the fascinating world of drone technology and understand the basic principles of flight. Under the guidance of trained volunteers, the young participants eagerly took the controls and maneuvered the drones through the air.
This interactive activity not only provided an entertaining experience but also sparked interest in the field of aviation and engineering. By introducing kids to drones, JuSTEMagine aimed to inspire a passion for STEM subjects and ignite their imagination for future possibilities.
