Ms. Block from Hettinger ND is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Sky is Not the Limit

Help me give my students an upgraded drone experience. These drones will allow students to practice indoors during the long ND winter and improve skills outside with the HS720 drone the rest of the year.

My Project

Our high school drone program offers a unique blend of education and practical skills that are highly relevant in today's technological landscape. Drones represent a burgeoning field with applications across various industries, from agriculture to filmmaking, environmental monitoring to search and rescue. By engaging in a drones program, students not only learn about the mechanics and principles of flight but also gain valuable experience in coding, data analysis, and problem-solving.

Such programs foster creativity, innovation, and critical thinking while preparing students for potential careers in emerging fields.

Additionally, drone technology aligns with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education goals, offering hands-on learning opportunities that can inspire students to pursue further education and careers in STEM-related fields. Access to a drones program equips high school students with essential skills for the future workforce and empowers them to become proficient in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

New FAA regulations and general wear and tear require us to upgrade our program. Smaller drones will allow us to practice indoors when the ND weather does not allow us to be outside. When we have a favorable weather day, we will be ready to deploy our larger drones. Please help us get back in the air.
