Discover Drones Premium Package - 7 Drones

Educator Guide:

The Discover Drones curriculum centers around a single, unified instructor resource: The Educator Guide. As the Rosetta Stone to classroom preparation, progression, and facilitation, the Educator Guide is the handbook on becoming a drone ambassador and expert pilot. Housing instruction and guidelines for student, flight field, and battery safety as well as detailed resources for aiding students through building, training, flying, and real-world connectability, the Educator Guide provides instructors with the confidence and ability to dive into STEM content and lesson plans with the same level of excitement as the pilots-to-be!

Student Resources:

Discover Drones uses three student-driven curriculum pieces: LABCards, Droneology, and FPV Freerider.

LABCards:

The LABCard approach is intended to provide a more student-directed experience. Educators are empowered to provide more facilitation, coaching, and mentoring as students work independently and in their own fashion. The LABCard curriculum can be used in school programs, clubs, and a wide variety of classroom models.

Each LABCard includes:

• Two step-by-step projects that introduce new concepts and skills by guiding students through self-driven activities.
• Two engaging challenges that take students through the completion of Droneology, training on the flight simulator, and the honing of their piloting skills.
• A final design project that gives students an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in an open-ended way.

Key Terms are listed at the end of each card for reference. Along the bottom of most cards is a Droneology checklist, listing videos to watch and quizzes to pass before moving on to the next card. At the end of every level, an End Design Project challenges students to synthesize their learning with creativity, critical thinking and real-world relevance.

Curriculum Topics:

• YELLOW Level 1: BUILD
• ORANGE Level 2: TRAIN
• PURPLE Level 3: FLY
• BLUE Level 4: RACE

Droneology:

Coupled with hands-on, experiential learning, the Discover Drones system also makes use of the online educational app, Droneology. This fast-paced, interactive online course prepares pilots of all skill levels for safe and responsible drone entertainment. Droneology covers topics of safety, laws and regulations, flight basics, and the many uses of drones! This digital course is optimized for use on mobile devices, allowing easy access from phones, tablets, or computers anytime and anywhere.

FPV Freerider:

FPV FreeRider is a top-of-the-line flight simulator for pilots-in-training. As a critical part of the Discover Drones curriculum, logging hours on the flight simulator allows students to hone their piloting skills without running the risk of crashing a real drone! FPV Freerider is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.

Digital content that is provided with Discover Drones kits is perpetual and does not need to be renewed. Digitial content includes Droneology EDU, FPC Freerider, RubiQ Configurator, and the Discover Drones curriculum PDF.
