STEM Fundamentals is a career-connected drone curriculum designed for grades 4–8. Built by educators and aligned to national and state standards, it blends coding, camera-based data capture, and real-world drone missions to develop STEM skills, critical thinking, and early career awareness through a ready-to-run classroom system.

The "Paper Pilot" gap is a workforce crisis where certified pilots lack actual flight skills. Drone Legends’ Advanced UAS Precision Pilot™ program solves this for Grades 9–12 CTE via manual FPV training and NIST-aligned validation. By focusing on competence before credentials, it ensures graduates meet rigorous professional standards for high-stakes missions in energy and public safety. Bridging the gap from license to mastery.

Drone careers are growing rapidly across industries, but certification alone is no longer enough. This in-depth guide explores how Career and Technical Education programs can prepare students for the UAS workforce through hands-on drone training, First Person View flight, FAA Part 107 preparation, and real-world operational pathways supported by Drone Legends.

Drone-based STEM learning gives students in grades 4 to 8 a hands-on way to explore coding, engineering, physics, and real-world technology. By flying and programming drones, students build problem solving skills, teamwork, and confidence while meeting science and technology standards. This guide explains how drone STEM programs work, why they are effective, and how schools can implement them successfully.

High school drone racing is more than an exciting competition. Through FPV flight, USDRA events, and FAA Part 107 certification, schools are creating real CTE pathways that prepare students for future careers in technology, aviation, and engineering.

Bring STEM to life with a school drone tournament! Students learn coding, teamwork, and problem-solving through fun, hands-on drone challenges. With Drone Legends, educators can easily plan safe, engaging competitions that inspire creativity and build real-world tech skills. Perfect for schools and after-school programs nationwide — turn your gym into a drone arena and watch learning take flight!
