Fly Free!

Help me give my students a quality DJI drone to perfect the skills they have learned on smaller indoor drones.

My Project

My students have been learning how to code and fly small indoor and low quality outdoor drones. They have been perfecting their piloting skills, with oud Tello and Holy Stone drones, however, these drones have very limited range and ability.

I would like to give my students access to a high quality drone to be able to demonstrate the skills they have learned.

DJI makes some of the best and most polished drones in the world. My students will be able to take quality photos and videos to use in various school projects.
