Khalid "dakid" art
Khalid, now 8, is on his journey of mastering S.T.E.A.M.
At age 3, Khalid received his first set of Legos- a 20-piece train set, which he assembled by himself just by looking at the photos in the instruction manual. At age 4, I signed him up for a local Lego Robotics class designed for ages 6+. Since that time, Khalid participated in Lego Robotics with our local franchise of Brickz 4 Kids until he was 7 years old. As a parent, I saw that his skills were increasing and his need to more fully understand how the world around him worked was peaking. So, I located a business called Robo Dojo which he participated in for a couple of months. After meeting Mr. Jeffries Epps at a local library branch, following a demonstration on coding, we signed up with STEMERALD CITY and Khalid has been studying S.T.E.M. under Mr. Epps ever since.
Studying under Mr. Epps, Khalid began training in STEMERALD CITY's Remote Drone Pilot Academy in March 2020. Required to complete flying missions, he graduated through the program from Cadet to Pilot in Training to Certified Remote Drone Pilot in May 2020. The picture above is the day Khalid received his certification & Pilot Wings (3-D printed).
Right now, Khalid is continuing to increase his S.T.E.M. skills and knowledge, attending courses with STEMERALD CITY throughout the month. Additionally, he continues to use YouTube as a guide to perfect his 3D modeling skills as he works with his first 3D printer.
