Looking to diversify the use of technology in your school to match the interest of your students? Consider implementing a drone program!
As a first step, order this free drone eBook from our friends at the She Flies program in Australia. The eBook is designed primarily for school teachers, librarians, and principals, however, it is equally useful for parents.
The eBook suggests schools become early adopters of drone technology to equip students with skills needed for their future careers. And, in the bigger picture be a part of building an innovative economy.
What’s in the eBook?
Here’s what you will find in the She Flies eBook:
- How working with drones addresses problem based learning across a range of different disciplines.
- Important items to consider when developing a policy for integrating drones into your school programs.
- Cool ideas for using a drone at school with an outline of the skills learned with each activity.
- Questions to answer when deciding which drone to buy for your school.
- And more!

Hello, I am an elementary educator in IL, United States. I am a male teacher in a mostly female world. I strongly believe that girls should be encouraged to explore STEAM fields at an early age so that they have the skills needed as they get older. I have held girls only video game design classes and am thinking of leading a class for girls this summer about drones. I am wondering if you have resources or connections you would recommend as I begin planning for this upcoming summer?
Thanks so much for all you do!
