She Maps "How to teach STEM with drones" Workshop

This year, She Maps is visiting only 3 cities to deliver our highly-sought after teacher drone workshops! We can’t wait to have teachers flying with us at the ICC in Sydney. Coinciding with Australia's largest geospatial conference, Locate 24, this 2.5-hour course is made for anybody new to teaching with drones, as well as those who are already familiar with drones but want to take a pedagogical approach to teaching with drones in a safe and inclusive manner. Part of this workshop is also a guest talk from a drone industry representative and a tour through the trade exhibition hall, where you can see the latest tech, connect with key businesses in the space and geospatial field, and hear about the latest industry trends.

What others thought

90% of participants said they would recommend this workshop to a colleague.
Although only 60% of teachers said they were confident flying drones before they participated in our workshop, 85% of participants said they felt confident using our program in their classroom after taking part in the workshop.

"That was the most engaging PD I've done in a long time. Flying with drones and learning about the applications and seeing some of the real-world examples of people working in the industry was really inspirational for me. -Simon Miller, Vice Chair Australian Geography Teachers Association
