Hi Everyone! I’m an undergraduate student in my final year at The University of Manchester, studying for a BA in Management, Leadership, and Leisure. In my Edutainment and Leisure course with Dr. Miri Firth PFHEA, I’ve been exploring the exciting ways education and entertainment can intersect to create engaging learning experiences. For my research, I’ve chosen to focus on DJI a leader in drone technology that is also making significant strides in educational initiatives. DJI’s programs introduce young learners to the world of robotics, drones, and STEM fields, blending high-tech innovation with engaging educational content. This raises intriguing questions about how companies like DJI can maintain a balance between education and entertainment in their programs. Here are a few questions I’d like to explore with DJI: 1️⃣ Should DJI’s educational programs prioritize immediate knowledge acquisition, or should they focus on fostering a long-term interest in STEM? 2️⃣ With advanced technology such as drones, VR, and robotics, how can DJI ensure that educational objectives remain the primary focus? 3️⃣ Besides direct participant feedback, are there more objective ways to evaluate the real educational impact of DJI’s programs? 4️⃣ Do younger audiences require different program designs to ensure educational effectiveness across various age groups? Thank you for reading, and I look forward to any insights! #UniversityOfManchester #Edutainment #DJI

Drone Soccer: A Perfect Blend of STEM and Aviation Education In the ever-evolving world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), educators are constantly searching for innovative ways to engage students. One of the most exciting developments in recent years is drone soccer, a sport that fuses cutting-edge technology with the principles of aviation, offering students an engaging, hands-on learning experience. What is Drone Soccer? Drone soccer is exactly what it sounds like—teams of students fly drones inside a netted arena, aiming to score goals by flying through hoops, much like soccer on the ground. However, it’s more than just a game. Each team controls specialized drones, which are not only piloted but also designed and maintained by the students themselves. This unique sport is rapidly gaining popularity in schools and clubs as it offers an unparalleled opportunity to introduce students to the world of aviation and drone technology. But beyond the fun and excitement, drone soccer is a powerful tool for teaching critical STEM concepts. Save the Date! Drone Soccer Invitational Join us at the Drone Soccer Invitational at McBride High School, Long Beach. The event will take place on Saturday, October 12, from 9 AM to 2 PM at 7025 Parkcrest St, Long Beach, CA 90808, offering an unforgettable experience where technology and education collide in a high-energy, hands-on competition. This event is sponsored by California Drone Sports (CDS), Sato Academy of Mathematics and Science and the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD). It’s a fantastic opportunity to witness how drone soccer is revolutionizing the way students engage with STEM and aviation education. Bring your curiosity, and discover how this emerging sport is inspiring the next generation of engineers, pilots, and innovators. #DroneSoccer #STEMEducation #AviationEducation #DroneTechnology #HandsOnLearning #InnovationInEducation #CaliforniaDroneSports #SatoAcademy #LBUSD #STEAM #FutureEngineers #TechInEducation #NextGenSTEM #STEMCareers #AviationCareers

Being averse to change can very easily stunt your company/institution's growth! Especially if you're in the #education industry! I've met a lot of founders, principals, teachers who are making active efforts to keep the curriculums in their institution relevant and their students future-ready! Here's why schools should consider integrating drone technology into their curriculums: - A $100 Billion Industry by 2030: The global drone industry is projected to skyrocket, creating a demand for professionals skilled in robotics, programming, and drone operation. Early exposure can prepare students for these opportunities. - Hands-On STEM Learning: Drones provide an engaging way to teach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Students learn coding, aerodynamics, and problem-solving through real-world applications. - Global Movement: In the U.S., universities and schools are integrating drone programs into curriculums, hosting competitions, and youth camps to foster STEM education. Over 120 schools adopt Drone Soccer annually, using it as an innovative tool for teaching collaboration and technical skills. - India’s Potential: With government support through initiatives like Drone Rules 2021, India is primed to be a leader in drone innovation. However, our schools need to prepare students to seize this growing opportunity. The drone revolution is here. Equipping students with these skills today means empowering them to lead tomorrow. Shouldn’t we be shaping leaders, not followers? #drone #tech #education #stem #robotics #growth #future #schools #revolution #dronesoccer #content #linkedin

🚀 Why Drones are the Perfect Tool for Enhancing STEM learning in Your Classroom🚀 Drones are taking over, not just outside in the air, but in our schools as well. As more STEM educators are looking to introduce drones into the classroom, it's crucial to ensure the payoff for our students by teaching them life-altering skills. If you want to make a lifelong impact on your students, here are three skills for educators to focus on. 1️⃣ Analytical Thinking: Teach students to dissect flight challenges, breaking them down into manageable components. By analyzing mechanical issues and flight patterns, they can develop strategies to overcome obstacles and optimize drone performance. Being patient, identifying problems, and correcting them will serve them well not only in your Drone focused course, but well beyond. 2️⃣ Teamwork : In the dynamic world of drone technology, collaboration is key. Encourage teamwork among students, fostering an environment where they can brainstorm ideas, share expertise, and collectively devise innovative aerial solutions. The communication, written, and collaborative skills will be 3️⃣ Resilience: I often tell our students that if you have ever flown a drone, you’ve likely crashed one as well. Teaching students to continue their journeys as pilots, despite crashes, mechanical issues when building, or simply being afraid is one of the most powerful skills we can help them develop. Many of my students in the past have been afraid to take their first flight, because they don’t want to be embarrassed, or they are afraid they’ll break something irreplaceable, but I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and let them know that as long as they follow instructions, stay safe and have fun, they’ll learn. That technique has never failed me. By integrating these principles into drone education, we empower future drone enthusiasts to navigate challenges with confidence and creativity. It’s been 8 years of drone piloting and instruction for me, and we have reached over 10,000 students at Global Air. And today’s STEM educators are in an even better position to do more. Thanks for reading. And if you are interested in learning more about STEM education, shoot me a DM. We are launching a class for drone focused STEM educators who want to leave an impact. #Drones #STEM #business #education 🛸🔍
