Incorporating micro drones into the classroom is a game-changer for STEM education. These tiny flying marvels not only captivate students but also provide hands-on learning opportunities that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. With She Maps leading the charge, educators have access to a comprehensive suite of resources, including drone incursions, teacher professional development (PD), and classroom-ready drone kits.
Why Micro Drones?
Micro drones are versatile tools that can be used across various subjects, from geography and mathematics to digital technologies and environmental science. They make abstract concepts tangible, allowing students to visualize data, code flight paths, and even simulate real-world scenarios. Plus, their compact size and safety features make them ideal for indoor use.
Drone Incursions
She Maps offers engaging drone incursions that bring the excitement of drone technology directly to your classroom. These workshops transform students into geospatial scientists for the day, teaching them how to fly and code drones while exploring real-world applications. The incursions are designed to inspire curiosity and interest in STEM, particularly among underrepresented groups like girls.
Teacher Professional Development
For educators, confidence is key when introducing new technology. She Maps provides teacher PD workshops that equip teachers with the skills and knowledge needed to integrate drones into their curriculum. These sessions cover everything from drone safety and manual flight to coding and classroom management, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
Micro drone kits
To make drone education accessible and effective, She Maps offers classroom drone kits tailored to different group sizes and learning objectives. These kits include everything you need, from micro drones and controllers to safety gear and curriculum-aligned teaching materials. They even come with a one-on-one session with a drone education expert to help you get started.
