The Drone Legends: STEM Fundamentals program, led by instructors Jason Allen and Laura Driskell, ran for 16 exciting weeks and brought together students ranging in age from 5 years old to adults. Two separate classes were hosted each week—one on Mondays from 2:00–4:00 p.m. and another on Tuesdays from 4:30–6:30 p.m.—giving families flexible options to participate. In each session, parents and children learned side by side, exploring the science of flight, drone safety, coding, and collaborative problem-solving through engaging, hands-on activities. This unique multigenerational format fostered a powerful learning environment where students supported one another and shared in the thrill of completing drone missions as a team.
Throughout the course, all participants showed significant growth in their STEM knowledge, with improved test scores from beginning to end across both class sections. Jason and Laura created an inclusive and energetic classroom culture that made learners of all ages feel welcome and capable. Their combined enthusiasm and experience helped transform curiosity into confidence, especially among families new to drones and STEM education. The success of the program even caught the attention of local media—Drone Legends: STEM Fundamentals was proudly featured on Spectrum One News and KET’s Kentucky Edition, highlighting its impact on the community and its role in inspiring the next generation of drone pilots and problem-solvers.

Our FAA Part 107 Prep Class for students ages 16 and up meets every Wednesday and provides focused instruction on the knowledge needed to pass the FAA Remote Pilot Certification exam. Designed for aspiring commercial drone pilots, the class covers key topics such as airspace classification, weather patterns, flight regulations, and mission planning, all in a supportive and interactive learning environment.
We’re thrilled to celebrate Kim, one of our standout Part 107 course participants, who has officially earned her FAA Remote Pilot Certificate! Kim began her drone journey with us, diving into the coursework with curiosity, determination, and a passion for learning. Kim's success is a testament to her hard work and the supportive learning environment we strive to create. We couldn’t be prouder to see her take flight as a certified drone pilot!
The Egyptian Expedition, a fantastic adventure by Drone Legends, takes students on a STEM-infused, virtual reality quest through ancient Egypt.
The Egyptian Expedition, a fantastic adventure by Drone Legends, takes students on a STEM-infused, virtual reality quest through ancient Egypt.
Over a span of eight engaging missions, students will code their virtual drone, seek out hidden clues, unravel age-old secrets, and find themselves in the midst of a historic mystery. As the tale goes, no mystery is complete without its fair share of riddles and challenges, so expect math and problem-solving puzzles along the way!
"We were able to use Egyptian Expeditions Drone Legends with our students this year, and it was a wonderful program for our students." - Mandy-Gifted and Talented Teacher

Unalakleet, Alaska is a small coastal village located on the Norton Sound of the Bering Sea, with a population of around 700 people, primarily Inupiat. Despite its remote location, the community is vibrant and deeply rooted in tradition, with a strong emphasis on family, culture, and resilience. The local school, operated by the Bering Strait School District, serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade and is a central hub for education and community activities. Unalakleet is also well known as a key checkpoint in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which brings excitement and visitors to the village each March as mushers and their teams race through the snowy wilderness. With stunning views of the tundra, rich cultural heritage, and a deep connection to the land and sea, Unalakleet is a place like no other.
A highlight of Q2 was our unforgettable trip to Unalakleet, Alaska, where we partnered with local educators to host a special STEM Camp for students in the region. Over three days, we introduced the Drone Legends STEM Fundamentals program to eager young learners, all of whom were flying drones for the first time. The camp blended hands-on learning with cultural connection, showing how drone technology can be used in rural and remote communities. It was a powerful experience that inspired students, built lasting relationships, and demonstrated the universal excitement and accessibility of STEM education.
