Classroom Drone Essentials Workshop

Overview

This introductory workshop by Geoconnected is designed to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and environmental stewardship.

By incorporating drones as tools for monitoring and surveying the world, this session empowers students to explore the Earth from new perspectives, develop problem-solving skills, and understand the importance of conservation and sustainability.

Through hands-on experiences, they also strengthen their ability to communicate, collaborate, harness technology and care for each other while working to protect the planet. This interactive approach breaks down barriers, inspiring a more diverse range of learners to explore and embrace STEM with enthusiasm.

Developed by She Maps educators and industry experts, it helps teachers integrate drones into the classroom with ease—appealing to all students, regardless of prior skills.
