By bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications, Rocket Drones empowers the next generation of drone professionals to reach new heights in this rapidly growing industry.
Shaping the Future of Drone Education
Rocket Drones fits wherever your students learn. Schools use our program in STEM, CTE, and robotics courses, in core math, science, and history lessons, and in after school programs, summer camps, esports teams, and special education classrooms. Wherever it lives, students build practical skills and logged flight hours that transfer to the drone industry and beyond.
Rocket Drones is dedicated to shaping the future of education by connecting classroom learning to real careers, creating a well-rounded, interactive, and immersive learning experience that prepares students for success in the workforce and in their daily lives.
We are incredibly excited to bring Rocket Drones to our 4-H Afterschool programming this year! We kicked off this initiative with a training for staff. Our Rocket Drones trainer, Brandon was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and delivered the training in a way that made even the most technology-shy staff feel secure in the knowledge that they could use the equipment with confidence. It is incredibly evident that a great amount of care and detail went into the development of this program. It was designed with real-life applications for the classroom in mind. Highly recommended!

Rocket Drones is truly the complete package. At our comprehensive vocational school, we wanted to introduce a drone program that would prepare students for the increasing likelihood of working with drones in their chosen fields. After exploring our options, we chose Rocket Drones because of the range of their offerings, their strong industry foundation, and—most importantly—their clear commitment to student success.

Rocket Drones are an excellent resource for the aviation-STEM classroom! I teach grades 9-12 aviation. Rocket drones in the classroom have significantly increased student engagement and motivation for learning; containing a multitude of activities and lessons. They are definitely an interactive tool that fosters student engagement and skill effectiveness in piloting drone aircraft. The visual and tactile learning facilitate problem solving, critical thinking, and much more! I would definitely recommend other school districts to consider using Rocket Drones for implementation into a new aviation or STEM program.

Great learning experience on RocketDrones!! It is nice to be able to express specific needs and have the training instruction shift to the needs of the people in the class. The progression learning on 2 drone types allows for everyone to learn and gain confidence at their own pace. Thanks for taking the time and thoughtfulness in creating the RocketDrone Program.

The Rocket Drones Student
Pathway to Drone Careers
STEP 1
Pick Your Foundation: Every student starts with foundational flight training on the Rover Classroom Drone Kit, the Drone Web Simulator (missions, games, and gamified challenges), or both. Students build basic flight skills, log real flight hours, and begin working through the Intro to Drones Curriculum. No prior experience required.
Step 2
Add Advanced Pilot Training: Students ready for more move into the Advanced Drone Pilot Program with the FPV drone racing kit, the Drone Racing Simulator, or both, building the manual piloting skills employers require: flying without sensors or GPS.
Step 3
Build Career-Ready Skills: Ongoing curriculum and skill set training layers in throughout, reinforcing what students learn hands-on and continuing to build logged flight hours.
Step 4
Get FAA Certified: Students 16 and older complete the FAA Part 107 Commercial Drone Certification Course and graduate job-ready with a certification and logged flight hours.
Step 5
Get Industry Certified: Students looking for industry-specific certifications and training in agriculture, mapping, photography, videography, and law enforcement transition into our Commercial Drone Simulator and drone industry curriculum with industry-endorsed certifications.

Drone Job Growth
This section of the Aerospace Forecast summarizes the drone forecasts. Additional details and accompanying analysis can be found in the UAS compendium. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS or drones) have been experiencing healthy growth in the United States and around the world over the past decade. A UAS consists of a remotely piloted aircraft and its associated element —including the ground control station and the associated communication links—that are required for safe and efficient operation in the national airspace system (NAS).
