Introducing Youth to the Drone Industry
The Importance of Using Drones in STEM-Based Education
Drones are becoming increasingly important in many industries, including agriculture, construction, search and rescue, and film production. As the technology continues to advance, it's crucial that we introduce young people to drones and help them develop the skills and knowledge needed to take advantage of the opportunities offered by this disruptive technology.
Drones offer incredible opportunities for experiential learning, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). By using drones in the classroom, students can engage in hands-on, project-based learning that helps them develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. For example, students can learn about the physics of flight by designing and building their own drones, or they can explore real-world problems by using drones to collect data and analyze it. Additionally, drones can be used to teach students about topics such as geography, agriculture, mathematics, physics, biology, environmental science, and much more! By using drones as experiential learning tools, educators are providing students with engaging and relevant learning experiences that help them develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
A Range of Educational Programs
At Volatus Aerospace, we recognize the importance of educating young people about drones and aviation. That's why we offer a range of youth education programs, including Youth Drone Camps, the Science Experiential Aerial Research (SEAR) Program, Middle Years Drone Program (MYdrone), and a program specifically designed to introduce drone technology to teachers with strategies on how to use drones to help reach curricular outcomes.
Our Youth Drone Camps program is designed for students aged 8-11 and 12-17 and offers a range of exciting and educational activities, including piloting, photography and videography, drone racing, and coding with drones. Our program also introduces students to the many career opportunities available in the drone industry.
The Science Experiential Aerial Research (SEAR) Program is designed for high school students and provides hands-on experience in conducting scientific research using drones and machine learning tools. Students work with mentors to develop research projects and learn how to use drones to collect data and analyze it.
The Middle Years Drone Program (MYdrone) is designed for students in grades 7-9 and teaches them the basics of drone technology and how drones are used in a variety of industries. Students also learn about operating drones safely and the regulations surrounding drone use.
Our Drones in the Classroom program, which is specifically designed to introduce drone technology to teachers, provides educators with the knowledge and strategies needed to incorporate drones into their curriculums. By using drones in the classroom, teachers can engage students in hands-on, project-based learning that helps them develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
