How are drones being used for EDUCATION?
Drones are revolutionising the educational landscape by offering unique, hands-on learning experiences across various disciplines.
In science and engineering courses, drones serve as practical tools for teaching aerodynamics, programming, and robotics. Geography and environmental science classes utilise drones for aerial mapping and data collection, providing real-world context to theoretical knowledge.
In media and journalism, drones are employed for capturing dynamic footage, teaching students about cinematography and storytelling. Furthermore, specialised drone courses are emerging, offering certifications that prepare students for drone-operating roles in multiple industries.
Overall, drones enrich education by blending theory with practical skills, making learning more engaging and relevant.

Departments
Drones serve as invaluable educational tools, offering hands-on experience in aerodynamics, robotics, and coding. They bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, enhancing students' problem-solving and innovative skills in real-world engineering challenges.
Drones are integrated into criminal justice courses to simulate real-world scenarios like surveillance, search and rescue, and crime scene analysis. This hands-on approach offers students a more interactive and relevant learning experience, preparing them for future roles in law enforcement.
Drones provide a non-intrusive means for monitoring wildlife and marine ecosystems. They enable students to collect unique data, deepening their understanding of conservation, environmental impact, and species behaviour, thereby enriching their academic and research capabilities.
Drones are revolutionising cinematography and journalism by enabling dynamic aerial shots and real-time reporting. They offer media students a new dimension in storytelling, enhancing both their creative vision and technical skills, making them more versatile in their field.
Drones equipped with advanced sensors offer an efficient and precise method for environmental data collection. Students in remote sensing can analyse this data for a range of applications, from climate change studies to natural disaster assessment, broadening their research scope and expertise.
Drones facilitate detailed aerial mapping and site surveys, providing invaluable data for in-depth analysis. They enrich studies in archaeology, geography, and agriculture by offering a more comprehensive and nuanced view of landscapes, historical sites, and natural phenomena.

DRONE APPLICATIONS
REVOLUTIONISING EDUCATION & RESEARCH
Teaching
Any school, college, or university offering practical training of drones, integrating UAVs into their courses and lessons, will have a clear competitive edge in securing top-grade students. Drones are making leaps and bounds in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) departments. There are few better modern tools to use in the classroom than drones.
Group Training
Drones help to break up the monotonous grind of the school day, by allowing students and faculty members a reprieve from the arduous task of intensely focusing on the same topics over and over again, drones help to bring a sense of fun back into the learning environment.
Research
Many educational bodies are turning to drones to allow them to capture highly accurate data, quickly and safely. Drones can be used for research in subjects such as Geography, Surveying, History and many more.

Can I attach 3rd party payloads to the DJI M350 RTK?
Absolutely, as long as the third-party payload is compatible with the drone. We offer an array of compatible third-party payloads on our shop page, including but not limited to the Emesent Hovermap, Ageagle Red Edge-P/Dual, Phase One P3, and LiDARUSA Revolution 120.
What training do I need if I’m not flying commercially with my university?
The general consensus and expectation for university staff is that you will be trained to the GVC standard. The A2 course is the quickest way to get your hours up and flying but there are many limitations to the A2 when most university spaces are congested areas, leaving no options other than the GVC course.

What are T-levels?
T-Levels are nationally-recognised qualifications designed for 16 to 19-year-olds. These courses take 2 years to complete and are roughly equivalent to 3 A-levels. Developed in collaboration with leading businesses and employers, T-Levels aim to equip students with industry-relevant knowledge and skills. For example, the Design, Surveying, and Planning T-Level course includes drone laws in its syllabus.
T-Levels have become a trending educational pathway in colleges and academies. If your institution offers T-Levels, you have a unique opportunity to align your curriculum with cutting-edge technology and practices. Generous government innovation funds are available to enhance your courses with state-of-the-art hardware and software. This allows students to gain practical experience with technology widely used in professional settings. At Coptrz, we assist colleges in creating customised educational packages to maximise the benefits of T-Levels in these innovative courses.
