MACON, Georgia(41NBC/WMGT) The Real IMPACT Center hosted its Macon STEM Festival mini-series at Cirrus Academy.
The festival includes three sessions to teach young girls about the importance of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
La’Quata Sumter with Focus On Me Droneworks led Thursday’s session about the science behind drones. Cirrus Academy female students had the opportunity to fly a drone and learn about the parts of a drone.
Many of the students say they they now have an interest in technology and STEM-based careers.
“When I grow up, I want to go about technology,” said 7th grader Zandra Hightowers.
Macon s Cirrus Academy works with Starbase Robins for STEAM lessons

MACON, Ga. Many schools are putting a major focus on STEAM programs, which stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math.
Cirrus Academy students are in the classroom working on fractions and equations from the experiment they did the day before.
It s part of the Starbase Robins program headed by Audra Hubbard. Starbase is a department of defense youth program that focuses on 5th graders and we teach STEM and there are over 70 Starbases throughout the United States and we are housed at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, Hubbard said.

MACON, Ga. Cirrus Academy students are putting their science, tech, engineering, art and math (STEAM) skills to the test by building and flying their own kites.
They had to figure out the math to build them before taking their creations to the sky. We have to really measure this out and for the kite because the straws if it s too long, it might not fit with the paper, so we have to measure it out and figure out how much paper we need to put over the straws, said sixth grader, London Perrin.
