Eyes in the Sky

A drone is not a toy that flies. It is a camera that can stand on air.

Ages 7–128 modules πŸͺ¨ Starts with no device

Look up. Everything a drone does β€” push air down, hold itself steady, look at the ground from above β€” you can understand with paper, string and a bit of running about. You will also learn the rules of the sky, because the sky belongs to everybody and it has real laws.

For a parent or teacher

Your child will understand lift, propellers, aerial mapping and β€” importantly β€” the genuine safety and legal rules around flying, all without owning a drone. The final project is a real overhead photo map of a place they know, made from a pole and a phone.
