Drones capture stunning aerial photography, save lives in modern day search and rescue missions, collect snot samples from whales for scientific research, inspect vast agricultural landscapes, survey crocodile-infested waters, thrill spectators in FPV racing, bring medical supplies to war-torn areas and deliver pizzas in New Zealand. The world has fallen in love with them, and we’re sure your students will too.

In Discover Drones, your learning environment will experience first-hand the technology that’s been sweeping over the world. Starting with lessons in engineering and technology, students begin by building RubiQ, their modular, open-source training drone! After learning the safety regulations and procedures surrounding unmanned aerial vehicles, they’ll then start with the basics of flight, first becoming comfortable on a training simulator before moving to line-of-sight piloting. After mastering RubiQ’s controls, it’s time for students to don their First-Person View (FPV) goggles, experiencing first-hand what STEM at 75 MPH is like!

Discover Drones utilizes the PCS Edventures cutting-edge curriculum, 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. To keep interest piqued, each card includes a mix of different activities for you to flow between. From whole group discussions and time for teams to work together on their drone to individual quizzes and flight simulator practice, every LABCard is unique, engaging and downright fun!

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.

From learning to piece RubiQ together to making death-defying aerial maneuvers, Discover Drones is the trailblazing educational tool your learning environment needs. Preparing students for the future of UAV’s and careers that haven’t even been invented, it’s time to take flight. Are you ready for high-octane education?

Droneology is presented in a way that is effective for both kids and adults.

FPV Freerider is the best first-person view racing simulator on the market. Using a keyboard or controller, practice all the skills, tricks and turns of drone flying without running the risk of a costly real-world crash. For the price of only a few replacement props, FPV Freerider allows pilots the luxury of flying from the comfort of their computer screen.

As a RC Quadcopter Racing Simulator, FPV Freerider switches from first-person view (FPV) and line of sight (LOS) flying depending on the pilot’s preference. While a keyboard can be used for simulation, it is highly recommended to use a USB controller (While most USB controllers should work, the most compatible are Realflight and Esky USB controllers, Xbox, PS3 and Logitech gamepads, FrSky Taranis, Spektrum, Flysky, Walkera, Graupner and Futaba RC radios.)

Constantly updated with new perks and additional in-flight options, the most recent version of FPV Freerider includes self-leveling and acro mode. In the full version, 3D flight mode is also available for inverted flying.

With six sceneries to choose from, FPV Freerider gives you the ability to adjust settings to your precise liking, allowing pilots to not only be able to control their drone but the environment around them. Fly (and crash!) all you want, regardless of rain, wind, sleet or snow and become a master of the skies with FPV Freerider!
