Educators nationwide are choosing Discover Drones to prepare students for the most exciting and in-demand STEM careers of the future.
Drone Training Program was the BEST!
By Brandi Milliron
The opportunities for students are endless through this program, and students will receive training and hands-on experiences that will prepare them for careers that are not even available right now. This is the program that will get students excited about STEM topics.
I have not talked to a future student that is not ecstatic for this class, and many will try to enroll in the fall. Once this becomes the "hot" class at school, I am planning to implement an after-school program to enhance the training and encourage students to become involved in drone racing.
I am so excited and cannot wait to implement this program!
RubiQ reignited my students' love for learning.
By Paul Uzzi
Edventures has developed an outstanding platform to engage students in STEM. The package provides all the necessary tools and resources for a classroom to takeoff. Droneology, course navigation software, is an outstanding resource that takes students on an adventure through the ethics, laws, essential knowledge of drone flight.
RubiQ (the quadcopter) is surprisingly robust. I was a little intimidated at first, but got the hang of it with practice. My students picked up flying RubiQ much faster than I did.
I teach at an alternative high school and Discover Drones has been an amazing tool to reignite the love for learning. My students are engaged again and the desire to learn has spread to their other classes.
Discover Drones is legit drone equipment!
By Scott Campbell
I've been building drones for a little over two years now and this kit contains legit drone equipment recognized by industry leaders!
First off, the RubiQ itself is all modular and perfect for teaching beginners all the necessary parts of a drone and how everything connects together. The main circuit board is built extremely well and you can tell much time and effort was put into this board.
I know this kit is going to open many students minds to the many possibilities of drones and how they can be used for the good. It will also teach them problem solving and hands-on skills which will be with them for the rest of their lives! I am so glad to be a part of this drone education movement!
Drone Industry To Exceed $100 Billion
The global drone market is expected to grow from about $7.7 billion in 2022 to over $17 billion by 2028 (from Market Reports World), with far-ranging career opportunities in construction, defense, cinematography, agriculture, insurance, fire, police, journalism, utilities, real estate and many other industries.
High school students with drone operator training and a Part 107 commercial operator’s license are earning over $50/hour in summer jobs, indicating the extraordinary demand for these skill sets.
Beyond their intrinsic career applications, drones could be the catalyst that propels a student to develop their knowledge and skills in computer science, engineering, robotics or aeronautics -- drones naturally incorporate all of these STEM topics and more.
