Get Your Kids Ready for the Jobs of the Future!
Preparing Your Child for Success in the 21st Century!
Many parents tell us they are concerned about the career options their kids will have in the future. With statistics stating that 65% of students will go on to work in jobs that have not yet been created, it is more important than ever to prepare our young people to succeed in an increasingly uncertain future.
That is why we created Drone Legends! The Drone Legends experience gives children valuable skills in the burgeoning drone services field and computer coding; skills they'll need to succeed in the 21st Century!
Drone Legends is a unique drone flight training, aerial cinematography, and computer coding drone club curriculum designed specifically for girls and boys ages 9-13. There is nothing else like it! We are quickly becoming a global community of incredibly talented kids experiencing 21st Century learning through the magic of drones!
We place equal emphasis on teaching kids about drones, drone technology, and how to competently and correctly pilot a drone as we do on coding and programming fundamentals. There are many reasons behind this model. Here are just a few:
- Teaching kids how to properly fly a drone builds their confidence and allows them to get the most value out of their drone. Learning to fly gives kids the freedom to explore the technology while having fun!
- Drones are the future. They are being used in nearly every industry imaginable, from agriculture, medicine delivery and surveying, to Hollywood blockbuster cinematography. We are developing the drone innovators of tomorrow!
- Letting kids manually fly in each session starts them with an interactive fun activity before we move into the more complex coding part of the session.
Coding with a drone? Yes! We use an incredible little programmable drone called the Tello. Tello allows us to teach kids the basics of programming while having fun with a flying machine. By the very first class your kids will program their own flight patterns with Tello, commanding it to perform fully autonomous flight missions!
Now that they are expert pilots, they will spend countless hours flying their drone, capturing aerial video and photographs long after the program is completed. Plus, we are always creating new Drone Legends experiences. If your son or daughter loves their initial experience they can continue on to progressive challenges and missions!
Your child's participation in Drone Legends will enable them to:
- Be able to competently pilot a drone.
- Understand and identify the many ways drones are making a positive impact on society from medicine delivery to first-responder support.
- Understand film creation and editing fundamentals, and create their very own aerial movies! Great to share with family and friends!
- Create autonomous flight coding/programming missions including “repeat loops/refactoring”, variables and logic statements (introduction to artificial intelligence).
