Bridging the Divide Between Industry Careers and UAS

I have been a public educator for 38 years and I have seen many things come and go in public education, but one thing that is here to stay is technology and real-world learning experiences that cognitively engage young minds while exposing them to career opportunities. This program is the complete package and is sure to challenge and excite learners of all ages."

When I was asked to start a Drones class I thought it sounded fun and would be something the kids would be interested in but I was worried that I didn't have any knowledge on the topic. Going into it, I didn't know the multitude of opportunities in this field but quickly realized that giving my students this opportunity could give them a skillset that would give them an edge in the job market. USI is knowledgeable and passionate and helped me to feel the same. I now feel equipped and excited to offer this to my students."

Even though my drone experience was limited, USI made the coursework and flight training accessible, informative, and enjoyable. I am so excited to share what I have learned with my students!"
