Ten Waynesville R-VI Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Launch Teams participated in the 2026 Missouri S&T Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Showcase.



STEM Launch Academy students in grades 3-5 explored how real-world drones can make a meaningful impact by supporting people, animals and conservation efforts. Through research and collaboration, they developed ideas for using drones to deliver food and medical supplies while also monitoring the needs and behaviors of threatened and endangered animals.



Based on feedback and evaluation scores from higher-education faculty and guests at the showcase, Launch Team 5 members Hannah R., Joseph H., Gwyneth E. and Carileigh T. were selected as the Project Based Learning STEM Team of the Year.

“Their project stood out for its originality, creativity and problem-solving, featuring a skywalk that allows visitors to observe animals in a natural setting without disturbing the animals or their habitat,” said Dr. Saralice Campbell, PLTW Launch teacher.

Team 5 members received certificates, programmable robots and other prizes.

What a rewarding year of growth, perseverance, and ingenuity in our district's 3–5 MA STEM Launch Academy. Several student teams met the criteria to attend the annual Missouri S&T PLTW Showcase in April.

Among the highlighted robotic models, the Animal Sanctuary Real-World Research Drone prototype was recognized as the STEM Launch PBL Team for the 2025–2026 school year.

Focus: The Animal Sanctuary Real-World Research Drone

Joseph H. - Robotics Coder
Gwyneth E. - Architect Designer
Carileigh T.- Robotics Engineer Assistant

The STEM Launch team researched how “real-world” drones can support people, animals, and conservation efforts. Students brainstormed ways drones could deliver food and medical supplies while also monitoring the needs and behaviors of threatened and endangered animals.

After collaborating as a team, students chose to design a research drone to support retired show animals living in sanctuaries. Their project stood out for its originality, creativity, and problem-solving, featuring a skywalk that allows visitors to observe animals in a natural setting without disturbing the animals or their habitat.

The project was selected based on feedback and evaluation scores from higher-education faculty and guests at the 2026 Missouri S&T PLTW Showcase.

Represented are STEM Launch students from Wood and Thayer Elementary Schools. The team members received certificates, programmable robots, and other prizes.
