Discover the impact of a school drone program through the eyes of the students themselves. This video features testimonials from the Audi Aero Cats, the first drone racing team in the Mohawk region, from the Owen D Young school district. Hear directly from them as they share their experiences and the valuable skills they are developing.
Students explain how simulators help them build control and focus, preparing them for hands-on flight. They discuss the practical side of technology, from fixing broken propellers to troubleshooting equipment. Beyond the technical skills, students have found unexpected benefits, including improved fine motor skills and the opportunity to build friendships within their drone club.
Most importantly, see how this experience connects directly to future careers. Students are already exploring pathways in agriculture, where drones can improve efficiency by spot-spraying fields, and competitive drone racing. Their insights show how a student drone program inspires real-world aspirations and builds a foundation for success. This is a look at what your students can achieve when given the chance to fly.
