How It Works

Step-by-Step Process

...

Assessment and planning

  • The program begins by assessing the readiness and interest in implementing drone soccer. Factors such as available resources, space for flying drones safely, and student interest are evaluated.
  • Planning involves determining how drone soccer will fit into the existing curriculum or extracurricular activities, identifying potential partnerships in academy’s or leagues and setting goals for implementation.
...

Training & Preparation

  • Educators and administrators undergo training to familiarize themselves with drone technology, safety protocols, and curriculum implementation strategies. This training ensures that they are equipped to lead drone soccer activities effectively
  • Schools may also need to acquire the necessary equipment, including drones, controllers, safety gear, and repair kits.
...

Organizing Competitions

  • Schools can organize drone soccer competitions as a way to showcase students' skills and foster a spirit of friendly competition. Competitions may be held within the school, between different classes or teams, or with other schools in the region.
  • Organizing competitions involves planning logistics such as venue, scheduling, rules, judging criteria, and awards.
...

Integration Into Curriculum

  • Drone soccer can be integrated into various subjects, including science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and even physical education. Educators design lesson plans that incorporate drone activities, aligning them with learning objectives and standards.
  • Classroom integration may involve hands-on drone building and programming exercises, simulations, and projects that culminate in drone soccer matches.
...

Extra-curricular Activities

  • Schools may offer drone soccer as an extracurricular club or team, providing students with opportunities for further engagement and skill development outside of regular classes.
  • Extracurricular activities include regular practices, scrimmages, and participation in local or regional drone soccer tournaments. They allow students interact with science on a larger scale
