Drone Cadets online

Students can progress at their own pace with 60-Day Access to this Virtual Learning Management System (LMS). Drone Cadets Online is a robust, fun and challenging interactive learning environment that effectively teaches drone flight, even without a drone!

Methodology

Emphasis is placed on best practices and keeping safety first along with developing a basic understanding of FAA rules pertaining to the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones. A typical class consists of video instruction, illustrated lessons or articles; interactive learning activities, and a quiz. Additional lessons are dedicated to hands-on coding, a free flight challenge, or mission. 

By the end of the course, it is our hope that students will:

• Become comfortable with basic drone flight 

• Be able to control a Tello drone safely 

• Be eager to continue learning 

• Consider pursuing a career in technology. 

Hybrid Learning

We’ve found virtual learning to be most valuable when supported by an on-site facilitator. This option provides a simple, cost-effective way to bring Drone Cadets to students everywhere. Students will begin each class at their own learning station, and then join together for hands-on instruction with a live facilitator. Ask about Hybrid Learning, and Professional Development for facilitators, available for groups of 10 students or more.

Add Drone Coding

Add optional Drone Coding to your LMS. As a drone pilot, learning to code autonomous drone flight is necessary to perform many drone missions in the real world. Drone Cadets teaches students to use block-based coding, where learning can be evaluated simply by achieving a successful flight. If a student does not have a drone, coded missions can easily be flown in a drone simulator. Students who show interest and aptitude are guided to dive deeper into coding with JavaScript, Python, and other advanced languages by taking advantage of the many additional coding courses available to them through a DroneBlocks Membership.

Site License Available

A Site License is available for groups of 30 Students or more at one site. A site is defined as one school or center; not one district or agency. The institution will receive digital files to load onto their own Learning Management System (LMS) Platform. Access will be granted, subject to the terms of the agreement, in perpetuity.

drone flight school

Entry level training available for groups of 10 or more

Our certified drone instructors will come to you, bringing all the energy, enthusiasm, and excitement our clients have come to expect. Drone Cadets Flight School can be taught as a 10 to 30-hour course, for groups of 10 or more.


Drone Cadets is quite simply, the most fun and engaging drone education program anywhere. Accredited by STEM.org, we’ve helped teach thousands of students worldwide to become safe, responsible drone pilots. Drone Flight School is the perfect entry level drone training for reading age students from elementary school to college.

  

Safety & FAA Rules

  • We begin with Safety which is the foundation of Drone Cadets training. Then we overlay the FAA Rules & Regulations everyone needs to know.


Theory & Practice

  • Successful drone flight hinges upon a delicate balance of physics, aerodynamics, robotics, electronics and doing a bunch of little stuff the right way…every single time. Drone Cadets helps students achieve success through repetition, procedures and real-world best practices. 


Flight Skills

  • When learning to fly there’s no substitute for “Time on the Sticks!” Drone Cadets builds pilots by giving students the experience of flight with hands-on Signature Learning Activities, missions, games and challenges, all designed to get students comfortable with drone flight. Learning to control a drone with the Drone Cadets method can be effective virtually, in real life and as a hybrid.


Ethics

  • Drone Cadets also focuses on soft skills; reinforcing ethics, perseverance, team building and courage, while igniting critical thinking. Creating good habits builds character. The ideal, that a Drone Cadet does the right thing—even when no one is watching; is reinforced in every single class.

Excitement meets STEM Technology

Drone Racing is a sport in which pilots wear First Person View (FPV) goggles that stream a live feed from a tiny camera on a drone. Since the pilot sees what the drone sees, the experience is like sitting in the cockpit of a drone as it races around the track. It’s an incredibly fun and exciting sport for pilots and spectators alike.


Learning how to control an FPV drone requires practice. A drone racing track will include many obstacles, usually equipped with lighted hoops, turns, tunnels, ladders, and gates that the pilot must navigate swiftly. It takes practice to develop the control, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination required to fly the course. Pilots test their skills in heart-pounding competitive races where a mere tenth-of-a-second can mean victory or defeat.


Drone Racing Club also teaches the technical elements of setting up, arming, calibrating a drone for flight. There is an art and science to creating just the right conditions for each drone and pilot to reach optimum speed. Since crashes are inevitable, so are repairs. Students are taught how to replace damaged parts in the classroom, and make quick repairs in the field.


Drone Cadets Drone Flight School is a pre-requisite to Drone Racing because a pilot needs to learn the basics of drone aviation before they can develop their racing skills. 


All Drone Cadets Drone Racing Clubs fly micro-quads in the Youth Drone Sports Camps (YDSC) League. Membership in the YDSC League allows pilots and teams to compete in events and tournaments world-wide. Drone racing is a fast-growing sport with different drone classifications that make it fun and challenging for all ages.
