Top notch
The curriculum was very helpful with implementation of the Drones. I love the resources available at PCS Edventures
My students are always engaged when I teach the Drone Technology using PCS curriculum. They are learning and ready to fly the drones!!
It is an amazing introduction to the world of drones. It provides a complete and meaningful curriculum to a "toy" that most kids have but don't realize how to use safely.
They stay engaged and look forward to it.
