A Droneversity Education


Listen Later

One remarkable aspect of drones is their ability to offer us a higher perspective. In this episode, Ashlee Cooper, the founder of Droneversity, shares her insights into drones and innovative applications to advance STEM education. 

Droneversity educates children about drones through immersive experiences like drone soccer, an international e-sport that fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and technical skills. The organization also ensures that all players pass The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST), an FAA requirement that provides education and testing on important drone safety and regulatory information, before you fly.  

Ashlee envisions a world where drones are seen as more than just a hobby. Through Droneversity, students, educators, and enthusiasts are empowered to explore their potential in the dynamic world of drones, coding, careers, and technology.
