BigHope, a leader in STEM education, partnered with Hillcrest High School to launch a groundbreaking drone program that’s soared in popularity. Over 10 students participated in this hands-on experience, learning robotics, piloting, and drone regulations under the guidance of seasoned pilot and instructor, Greg. The program culminated with students obtaining their drone licenses and using their skills to gather valuable data on air quality, plant health, and animal movements, which was then shared with local conservationists.
Hillcrest’s drone program wasn’t just about fun – it aimed to equip students with the technical skills and knowledge that could open doors to future careers in the rapidly evolving fields of robotics and aviation. Armed with advanced sensors and cameras, the drones became tools for meaningful data collection, providing actionable information to help protect the environment.
This collaboration exemplifies BigHope’s commitment to transforming education by providing students with hands-on experience in cutting-edge technologies. The success of the program is inspiring future expansion, with plans to reach even more students and explore new applications for drone technology. BigHope is truly empowering the next generation of innovators and helping them reach new heights!
