Check out our one-on-one interview with STEM 6th grader Anirudh Rao, who just won The Paradigm World Challenge grand prize, for “Revere”, a drone gadget he came up with that serves as an early tornado detection syhttps://stem.
As part of the grand prize, Anirudh, who just turned 11 years-old this week, will receive funding for legal fees to start the patent process for “Revere”. Happy Birthday Anirudh!
This innovation is amazing to see for many reasons. One of them, is the fact that Anirudh came up with the “Revere” concept years ago at STEM when a group of guests speakers came to his classroom and gave the students a challenge. This is exactly how STEM’s PBL model works. A problem is presented in the classroom, the students come up with a solution, and in some cases, those solutions end up on the world stage and become patented products that are put to real use.
