Why Drone Curriculum?
More than just teaching students how to fly drones
Our drone curriculum is about more than just teaching students how to fly drones; it’s about laying a foundation for them to participate in the world of tomorrow. According to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the drone industry is projected to create over 100,000 jobs by 2025 with an economic impact of over $82 billion.
Prepare them for a flourishing job market
Drones have far-reaching applications beyond what many might think, from mapping and surveying in construction, to agricultural monitoring, to disaster response and humanitarian aid. By introducing students to drones at an early stage, we are not only preparing them for a flourishing job market but also teaching them how technology can be used to solve real-world problems and make a positive impact.
The Benefits of Incorporating Drone Curriculum
1
Career Readiness
Students who have their FAA Remote Pilot Certificate and are familiar with drone technology will be ahead of the curve when they enter the job market. The skills they learn now will be directly applicable to a wide range of industries.
2
STEM Learning
Drone education is a fantastic way to teach Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It integrates these fields in a hands-on, engaging way that can stimulate interest in these crucial areas.
3
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
Learning to fly drones and understanding their applications requires strategic thinking, planning, and problem-solving, essential skills for any career and life in general.

Hear from Keith’s Story
“It walked the students from the very beginning, trying to learn the mechanisms or the STEM requirements, allowed them to get really hands-on and it provided in such a way that it wasn’t so overwhelming, allowing the weeks to be broken down, each week there was a task or there was a subject that was discussed, one week at a time.”
- Keith Pritchett, Arab High School
