ASOG 2020 Focus Area: Education and Training, Professional Development
I know we have a good number of educators in ASOG. This course came across our desk the other day – “Introduction to Youth Training with Aerial Drones and Terrestrial Robots.” I thought it would be of interest to you or even a Mk-1 ASO looking to share their passion of aerial remote-sensing with their local community. Bottomline, it’s a “Teach the Teacher” course. Here are some of the highlights of the program:
- Platform - Online self-pace course.
- Idea Participant - This training is ideally suited for enthusiastic individuals wanting to conduct a successful and engaging STEM program with aerial or terrestrial robots. The course is designed to walk interested individuals through tried and tested programs so it is ideal for individuals who are looking to start or improve on their current STEM or training programs.
- Content - Fully customized slide deck with 200+ slides developed from the knowledge and experience of over a dozen Flying Labs engaged in different STEM programs all over the globe. Over 15+ fully customized video presentations. Lesson plans, maps, activity sheets, selected readings and links to online resources
- Time - Takes about 4 hours to complete.
- Cost - 50 USD.
- Webpage - Introduction to Youth Training with Aerial Drones and Terrestrial Robots
So, if you ever wanted to formally or informally, instruct youth or even adults regarding the science of drones and aerial remote sensing, I think this course is a Low Pain – High Gain opportunity to build your own specialized course.
