It's been an awesome experience to grow The Drone Girl and bring Caroline Dobrez on my team. It's been even MORE awesome to see her bring in her own perspective and experience as a teacher to help make The Drone Girl better!
With that, I'm loving this guide she put together on practical ways to build a high school drone program:
🤔 Have you ever thought about how difficult it is to capture the imagination of middle school and high school students these days? What if there were a way to not only grab their attention but also prepare them for the real-world skills they’re going to need in a rapidly evolving job market?
Enter FPV Initiator, the groundbreaking precision drone pilot training program from Drone Legends, engineered specifically for schools. We're not talking about throwing in some drones as a fun distraction—this is about 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙛𝙪𝙡, 𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙘 𝙬𝙖𝙮.

Back in the classroom with our PS58 School of Heroes students.Our students have returned from vacation, eager for more drone training. We start with our Drone Cadets flight app, laying the foundation. Then, it's time for real-time practice, where students showcase their flying skills. This hands-on approach ensures they're ready for any challenge. Let's soar to new heights together

With all the hype around Drone Legends new FPV Initiator curriculum, we can't forget what got us here: STEM Fundamentals, our popular STEM-with-drones program making legends in elementary, middle, and high schools around the world.
Mohamed Shawky recently asked me what the students find most exciting about the program. Programming the drone to fly in 3D space using the X, Y, and Z axes ranks pretty high, though playing "Gimbal Says" is up there too 🤗
In STEM Fundamentals Mission 6, "Helper Bees," students are asked to help bees pollinate lilies using 3D coordinates. It's exciting to watch them carefully plan, measure, code, and launch their missions. Landing in the lily is a score!
