Rocket Drones @rocketdrones

A quick recap of the first National Student Drone Competition at the US Space and rocket Center. 🚀 A huge thank you to the US Space Force for sponsoring this event.

Get ready for liftoff 🚀 Space Camp is where curiosity turns into real skills: hands-on missions, teamwork, and experiences kids never forget. This isn’t just learning, it’s training like the future of space depends on it.

That moment you realize… they've been practicing. 😶🚁 Bring real drone education to your classroom and watch your students take off. Rocket Drones - Careers Take Off Here. #RocketDrones #CareersTakeOffHere #DroneEducation

The Santa Rosa Schools Center for Innovation is officially open, and what an exciting moment for the Santa Rosa community. This facility gives students hands-on access to drones, robotics, and emerging technologies that connect directly to real career pathways. Seeing this kind of investment in young people is truly something special. Congratulations to @SRCSchools on making this vision a reality. Rocket Drones is proud to play a small part in supporting such a meaningful program.

We may not be going to the moon, but we're dressed for the occasion. 🚀 At Rocket Drones, our passion for aviation and space travel runs deep, so you better believe we're glued to today's Artemis II launch. Four astronauts. One loop around the moon. The first time humans have been that close in over 50 years. Godspeed to the crew and everyone at @NASA making this moment possible. We'll be cheering from Earth (in our inflatable suits). #ArtemisII #Artemis #NASA #RocketDrones #SpaceLaunch

Launching a drone program should feel exciting. When we partner with a school, we do more than ship a kit and hope for the best. Our team shows up. We train your teachers. We work directly with your students. We help you build confidence from the very first flight. And we can have you up and running within a day.

This is the moment students work toward. By the time students are racing at events, they understand the physics behind every turn. They know how to adjust. They know how to stay calm. They know how to compete. Those same skills carry far beyond the course and into real career pathways in aviation, engineering, public safety, and commercial drone operations.

Rocket Drones is built for educators who want to bring hands-on STEM learning to life without adding stress or complexity to their day. When teachers pick up the controller, explore the simulator, and experience the excitement firsthand, that energy carries straight to their students. Engagement becomes contagious. Lessons become immersive. Learning becomes an experience.

We take drone education seriously. We just have a lot of fun doing it. In 2026, we are traveling to even more education conferences to help schools launch drone programs, CTE pathways, and competitive racing teams. If you see us on the road, come say hi. Let’s build something amazing for your students.

Drone education shouldn't start in high school. When students begin flying drones in grades 3 through 5, they build coordination, problem solving skills, teamwork, and confidence that carry into middle and high school STEM programs. By the time they reach advanced CTE and FAA pathways, they're prepared. Rocket Drones helps schools create a true K through 12 drone education pathway that sets students up for long term success in aviation and technology careers.

Our very own Brandon Turk recently spent time with @SaginawPublic, guiding their team through a hands-on training for their new Rocket Drones Classroom Kits. From the first takeoff to confident flight, it was a day full of learning and skill building.

Thinking about starting a drone program can feel overwhelming. There are drones everywhere, but very little direction on how to actually run a successful program. Rocket Drones removes the guesswork. With a one on one demo, educators are walked through exactly how to get started using our step by step portal. From daily lessons to classroom management, everything is clearly laid out so teachers know what to do from day one.

Classroom drone safety matters, especially when students are still learning how to fly. Rocket Drones indoor classroom drones are built with safety first in mind. Propeller guards, controlled power levels, and responsive design make them safe to operate indoors during lessons.

Looking back at @actecareertech CareerTech VISION 2025 and one conversation that says it all. Patrick, an educator and mayor from Idaho, already had an aviation program in place but wanted to expand into drones. The challenge was not just adding hardware. It was finding a complete drone curriculum that could support real instruction, credentials, and long term student growth.

From a student’s first flight in elementary school to advanced racing and commercial skills in high school, Rocket Drones supports learners every step of the way. Our programs are built as a true pathway, starting in 3rd grade and continuing up until graduation. Students gain hands-on flight experience, build real portfolios, log flight hours, and prepare for @FAANews Part 107 certification.

What a week at the @TCEA Convention in San Antonio, Texas! 🚀 From packed conversations on the show floor to hands-on demos and big questions about career pathways, this event reminded us why drone education matters so much right now. We loved connecting with educators who are looking for clear, practical ways to bring drones into the classroom and turn curiosity into real world skills. Also, huge shoutout to our neighbors and friends over at @getknowt!

It was great to spend time with Brandon of @rocketdrones today at LITES! We had a blast thinking about the many ways drones can be used to enhance curriculum for all ages.
