Drones in Schools
Bring the excitement of drone flying to the classroom with hands-on experiences using small-scale drone technology to prepare students for the high-tech jobs of tomorrow. As part of our Power to Educate, this program is free and open to all schools in our service territory – including public, private, charter and home-school options, for the first one to two years of involvement.
Featured event
Students from across Florida took flight at the FPL Drones in School Florida State Championship at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. With 22 teams competing, students immersed themselves in engineering, design, electronics, project management and video production.
“This has been one of the most engaging programs I have seen for students.”
-- James Nance, a Stiles-Nicholson STEM Teacher Academy fellow at FAU
“It’s important to let kids know that there are other aspects of STEM that they might not be aware of, and this program provides amazing exposure for them to learn about drones.”
-- Mariota Theodoris, STEM project manager with FPL
