Innovation

Industry Problem

Schools lack turnkey programmes that combine safe drone hardware, curriculum, simulation, manual flight experience and pathways to FAA certification.

R&D Focus

K-12 drone education; FPV racing; simulators; workforce and FAA Part 107 preparation.

Innovative Solution

Rocket Drones packages classroom drones, racing equipment, a proprietary portal, curriculum, simulators, competitions and certification preparation into school programmes.

Solution Effectiveness

The company provides documented kit sizes, licences and teacher/student testimonials, but no independent learning-gain or certification-pass rate was identified.
