Boot Camps (2023-2024)
Drone Flyers Academy, is dedicated to providing an equal playing field in education for everyone. As a Non-Profit we feel we have a responsibility to engage, educate and facilitate new career opportunities for all of those who may not have the means to advance on their own. We are able to provide workforce training programs in UAV Technologies through low tuition and various grants allocated to us. We want to give everyone a part in this future.
Our purpose is to introduce drone technology to as many youth as possible. This past year alone over 5000 children from 1st grade thru 9th, and over 500 High School students have participated in either our Summer Camps or our 1 Day Drone Boot Camps.
The ability to reach and train grade school children is directly related to our Grant from the Anderson Children’s Fund, which provided the monies needed to develop, create and implement our “Drone Soccer Balls, Portable Stadiums and Competitions) which provides a one of a kind, safe and unique training environment. Providing education in a competitive “drone sport” environment makes for instantaneous interaction with the students, and puts them well on the way to learning how to fly drones, and potentially creating a spark of interest to pursue this fun and job creating industry.
Drones are used in nearly all industry sectors, and the drone industry verticals align with the Coachella Valley’s infrastructure and Institutional Businesses, such as Renewable Energy, Construction, Real Estate, Agriculture, Inspections, and Film and Television. Drone technology and drone operators are also an important element in the fight against climate change and greenhouse gasses, which is extremely important to the Salton Sea Ecosystem.

By the addition of a mobile platform we have an opportunity to reach a larger potential base of younger students throughout the Coachella Valley.
