The Educator Guide

The Discover Drones curriculum centers itself around a single, unified instructor resource: The Educator Guide. As the Rosetta Stone to classroom preparation, progression and facilitation, the Educator Guide is the handbook on becoming a drone ambassador and expert pilot. Housing instruction and guidelines for student, flight field and battery safety, as well as detailed resources for aiding students through the 20 cards of building, training, flying and real-world connectability, the Educator Guide provides instructors with the confidence and ability to dive into the STEM content and lesson plans with the same level of excitement as the pilots-to-be!

As the one-stop-shop on all safety guidelines, assessments and resources for explanation and facilitation, the Educator Guide is the instructor's roadmap to the future of drones.

Student Resources

Discover Drones uses three student-driven curriculum pieces, LABCards, Droneology and FPV Freerider.

LABCards

The LABCard approach is intended to provide a tool that enables a more student-directed experience. Educators are empowered to provide more facilitation, coaching and mentoring as students work independently and in their own fashion. Almost all learning environments, including after-school programs, clubs and a wide variety of classroom models, can utilize LABCard curriculum.

Each LABCard includes:

• Two step-by-step projects that introduce new concepts and skills by guiding students through self-driven activities.
• Two engaging challenges that take learners through the completion of Droneology, training on the flight simulator and the honing of their piloting skills.
• A final design project that gives students an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in an open-ended way.
• Key Terms are listed at the end of each card for reference.
• Along the bottom of most cards is a Droneology checklist, listing videos to watch and quizzes to pass before moving onto the next card.
• At the end of every level, an End Design Project challenges students to synthesize their learning with creativity, critical thinking and real-world relevance.

Droneology

Coupled with hands-on, experiential learning, Discover Drones also utilizes the online educational app, Droneology, a fast-paced, interactive online course that prepares pilots of all skill levels for safe and responsible drone entertainment. Droneology covers topics of safety, laws and regulations, flight basics and the many uses of drones! This digital course is optimized for use on mobile devices, allowing easy access from phones, tablets or computers, anytime, anywhere.

FPV Freerider

FPV FreeRider is a top-of-the-line flight simulator for pilots-in-training. As a critical part of the Discover Drones curriculum, logging hours on the flight simulator allows students to hone their piloting skills without running the risk of crashing a real drone!

FPV Freerider is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.

Next Generation Science Standards*

• NGSS HS-ETS1-1 Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.
• NGSS HS-ETS1-2 Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
• NGSS HS-PS1-1 Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass and its acceleration.
• NGSS HS-PS1-5 Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
• NGSS HS-PS2-6 Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.
• NGSS HS-PS3-1 Create a computational model to calculate the change in energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
• NGSS HS-PS3-2 Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic level can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects).
• NGSS HS-PS3-3 Design, build and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
• NGSS HS-PS4-2 Evaluate questions about the advantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information.
• NGSS HS-PS4-3 Evaluate the claims, evidence and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either as a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the others.
• NGSS HS-PS4-5 Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
