My Project

All of our students love to fly the drones. It is not only a carrot to urge them forward, but an interesting career to let them try out. Our classes can only have one or two flying at a time right now because of the purchase cost. In class the additional drones will allow 8 total students to work together as they use drones to inspect structures, and learn basic flight controls. The aviation industry is one of the fastest growing in America. These tools give our students the qualifying time they need to earn necessary certifications.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
