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.

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.

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.
