Pippa and Dronie is an illustrated children’s book that takes students on an adventure with scientists and drone professionals, to explore the different ways modern STEM skills are used to gather data, and solve real world challenges. Dronie flies through whale snot to collect DNA samples (urgh yuck, but kinda cool), maps coral on the Great Barrier Reef, and in Kakadu National Park a crocodile even tries to jump up and grab her!
