What will you learn with Classroom Drone Essentials?

Your students will become geospatial scientists with this curriculum-mapped activity.

They’ll get exposed to role models, challenge unconscious bias, explore applications of drone technology, and understand safety and drone regulations. They will also learn how to fly and code a microdrone.

Module 1

Drone Career Pathways

In this module, we cover how and where drones are used in industry, meet industry role models, and look at the importance of working towards gender parity and diversity within STEM.

Module 2

Drone Safety

In this module, we discuss the different roles and responsibilities of drone pilots, look at some drone rules, and conduct pre-flight safety checks.

Module 3

Manual Flight

In this module, we practice manual flight, and battery management. The students learn how fly their drone, and demonstrate competence as a drone pilot to control a microdrone.

Module 4

Coded Flight Mission

In this module, the students are given a scenario where they’ve been tasked with being geospatial scientists for a day to collect data for the local emergency services. Using block coding, the students plan and carry out their mission!

Bonus

Tips & Tricks for Teachers

We will share lots of tips and tricks, including equipment set up, synchronising the drones, classroom management, and general troubleshooting when the program is taught as a Teacher Professional Learning workshop and through our online resources.

What other teachers say about us

We help teachers of all confidence and skill levels by making teaching with drones easy.

“I’d recommend She Maps to any school looking to promote STEAM Education and/or 21st Century Learning skills to their program. Whilst I was initially a little bit nervous about my drone and ICT knowledge, Katie and the team from She Maps made life very easy and build my understanding, knowledge and confidence so that I was ready to introduce drones to my Year 5 students,. The workshops will provide you with all the skills you need to successfully introduce, engage, and instil a passion for using drones in real life situations and learning about and interpreting GIS whilst simultaneously developing a range of 21st century skills in students without them even realising!”

“She Maps are an important partner in the process of creating change in our department's curriculum offerings. They provide a hands on experience that clearly relates to real world situations that is sympathetic to the needs and skill base of participants. Can't recommend their work enough!”

“Thanks to She Maps, I can now fly a drone and have many ideas on how I can use drones to enhance learning. I now have the confidence to use drones to create meaningful programs which are connected to community and provide my students with the forever skills needed for our future world.”
