"The Next Engineers" Trailer

For years, doctors told Nate Key that he would be lucky to live past 18 years. Today, despite his rare form of muscular dystrophy, Nate endures and thrives. With a passion for engineering and the dream of becoming a professional drone pilot, Nate is an inspiration to all those around him. Thanks to the support provided by the Carlsbad Educational Foundation, so many students like Nate are able to learn the tools of engineering and appreciate the power of designing with empathy. The Carlsbad Educational Foundation helps to fund programs at every grade level, from elementary school through high school, including the arts, music, and science.

In partnership with the Carlsbad Educational Foundation, Nate Key received a scholarship from the Judith Campbell Educational & Community Foundation. He will study Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in fall 2023.
