Teachers looking for exciting new STEM approaches, look no further! She Maps strives to encourage young people, and especially young women, in STEM and promote non-traditional careers as an option for students. One of the most interesting ways to do this is through indoor drone programs, incorporating new technologies into classroom environments.
Careers that incorporate digital skill sets are becoming more popular with young people who have grown up around rapidly evolving technology. A great option to introduce these pathways is through drones. They’re an exciting gateway for all students into STEM learning, and incorporate teaching opportunities in science, maths, digital technologies, engineering and geography. Drones are being used in careers ranging from film and photography, surveying, architecture, and drone racing, offering opportunities in creative and practical industries. They also let your students practise hand-eye coordination, learn to code, and develop important spatial thinking and problem solving skills. Drones have the wow factor needed to engage students who might not feel confident in or excited about STEM, letting them have a great time and learn new skills simultaneously.
Starting a classroom drone program is easier when She Maps can help you through it. We provide teacher resources that incorporate the Australian curriculum to make these digital careers more accessible to the younger generation and let students and teachers alike explore modern STEM through drones. The programs She Maps offers aim to improve the confidence and capability of teachers when it comes to new technology and the careers that can emerge from them, and we have resources for every budget. Simply select one of our drone essentials packages, choose your drone kit, and schedule a call with one of our teaching experts!

By running professional learning workshops online and in-person, teaching through school incursions, and developing learning resources that fit into the Australian curriculum, She Maps strives to broaden typical worldviews of STEM and stress the importance of diverse perspectives in tackling problems.
