The profession of drone operator, among the 10 dream careers.
A report published in 2020 by Samsung on alternative careers revealed that young people aged 16 to 18 are no longer interested in traditional jobs (lawyer, accountant,teacher...) but rather in digital roles. Drone operators were among the 10 most popular dream careers. This craze can be explained by the fact that teachers are using different interactive learning tools like drones!
Here are 3ways to use drones in education:
1- Drones develop motor skills and hand-eye coordination
Hand-eye coordination is a crucial skill that is taught in the majority of educational programs. In the past, sports were considered the best way to improve hand-eye coordination, but drones have proved to be another alternative. Drones requirea great deal of concentration to move from one place to another, and can help develop depth perception through distance assessment in the space where the drone is flying.
2- Drones to teach coding
Coding is one of the most popular jobs in the world, which is why more and more students are turning to this career. By using drones for a hands-on learning experience,it can be less intimidating for students to learn to code this way. In the sameway that many schools have adopted robots to provide a framework for experiencing first-hand the effects of their code. In addition, many educators use drones to encourage students to write programs that enable drones to fly autonomously.
3- Drones teach the laws of physics
Teaching the laws of physics is part of the science curriculum. Drones can provide very concrete examples of how the laws of physics work, such as Newton's third law: "An object at rest remains at rest unless subjected to an external force". To teach the first law of motion, the teacher can show student show, if no control is operated, the drone remains in place. It cannot hover or move unless the controls are used to power the motor and operate the propellers- an external force. In this way, students learn the laws of physics in a fun and interactive way.
