Redivivus’ company charter emphasizes involvement with high school STEM education.  The company’s founder is a STEM educator and is active in pursuing educational grants intended to stimulate students to build a better future.  

Consider the U.N. report that projects 62 billion kilograms of mobile phone and electronic devices are dumped annually.  Redivivus’ most recent grant proposal concerns recovering processors and motherboards from discarded smart phones and using them to modify commercial user-controlled drones with varying levels of autonomous control.  Students gain hands-on technical experience through his partnerships with local small businesses.  Students learn more than just tech; they learn the skills required for bringing a new product to market such as project management, budgeting and product life cycles. By working with local entrepreneurs, students develop relationships that can lead to summer jobs, internships and future careers.  

Redivivus plans to establish a STEM classroom where lesson plans are derived from our active R&D projects.  Students will have access to the micro-recycling system design, foundational physics, piece part drawing generation, and initial device trials.  Volunteer professionals working on the project will give summary presentations at milestones to describe the work completed and the work yet to be done.  Topics such as how the U.S. government supports American entrepreneurship through SBIRs and STTRs will be woven into lesson plans.   The class is currently studying electromagnetic devices, circuits, computer aided design and software programming.
