High School Teachers introducing students to drones and aviation concepts.
CTE, STEM, Engineering, or Tech Ed Classes that need hands-on, career-focused content.
Schools looking for plug-and-play STEM electives or enrichment content
No. The curriculum is built to be plug-and-play. You’ll get step-by-step teacher guides, pacing suggestions, quick-start training, and auto‑graded assessments so any teacher can facilitate confidently. In fact, our program is built specifically for teachers who don’t have much experience with drone technology.
It’s designed as a semester-length course, but it’s flexible. Schools run it in 9–18 week formats and adjust lesson blocks to fit different bell schedules and class lengths. There are about 3-5 instructional hours per week.
Start with affordable, durable drones that can handle beginner mistakes. We recommend the Holy Stone HS190 or the Syma X5C, which range from $30 to 50 per drone. Many schools begin with entry-level models like these, then add more advanced drones as students progress. We recommend a 3:1 student-to-drone ratio and will help you select specific models based on your class size, goals, and budget.
Yes. The course prepares students to pass the FAA Part 107 exam, a widely recognized industry credential included in many state CTE frameworks and incentive programs.
The content supports CTE pathways and industry credentials, with specific alignment to standards in Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and other states. We maintain state-alignment notes and can provide the language districts use for approvals, accountability indicators, and funding documentation.
After purchase, teachers receive portal access plus a live onboarding call and short training videos. You’ll learn how to add students, monitor grades, and navigate the course. Each student gets their own login with videos, readings, quizzes, and guided flight activities.
You’ll have responsive support from our Customer Success Manager, equipment guidance, and classroom resources throughout the term. We also conduct a mid-semester check-in call with all schools to ensure smooth deployment and student success. The curriculum is classroom-tested to reduce prep time and simplify management.
Pricing is per-student licensing on an annual basis, with quotes tailored to your expected enrollment. We support quotes, purchase orders, invoicing, and cohort enrollments for schools and districts.
Common sources include Perkins/CTE funds, state credential or incentive funds, and local grants. We can help you identify and navigate the best funding options for your school or district.
Yes. We have case studies, principal testimonials, short videos, and one-pagers you can share with leadership during evaluation and approval. Here is a link to our case-studies page.
