21st Century Challenges

Technology and Drones

Drone technology is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and standardized drone training for pilots and technicians is in dire need.
The future of work is changing as well and the availability of skilled employees is lagging.

Women in Industry

Women make up less than 29% of the workforce in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and hold a mere 7% of all jobs in the drone and aviation industry

Girls in STEM

Girls have lower self-confidence in their STEM abilities which contributes to the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

21st Century Workforce Skills

Current employers are seeking new adaptive skills in prospective employees

Creativity
Critical Thinking
Collaboration
Communication

These skills are the cornerstones of STEM Education for real world problem-solving!

Girls, Drones and STEM

Learning how to fly drones safely and professionally teaches these skills to girls. Drone education also exposes them to a variety of STEM subjects, such as:

Aviation Physics
Earth Science/Weather
Engineering Drone Models
Geospatial Mapping
Computer Science and Coding

PROGRAMS

Remote Pilot Certification

Minimum Age Requirement: 16 years

1,000 Drones for 1000 Girls focuses on drone education for Middle School and High School aged students.
Girls in this program could graduate from high school with their Remote Pilot Certification

Partnerships are the Key!

One in a Million

What if 1,000 people supported 1 girl’s dream to fly drones, and each of those girls went on to supported 1 other girl. Imagine the possibilities!

1 becomes 1,000 which soon becomes 100,000 and before long, there are 1 million!
