How does this work?
The STEAM Program is a virtual program and happens three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. A designated Yazi Guide will provide you with the necessary meeting links and serve as your coach during the learning sessions.
The program includes a STEAM kit with all the materials and licenses required by the curriculum. Each participant is required to have their own personal computer/tablet to join the program.

Course Levels
Level 1 - Aeronautics
In the Aeronautics Level 1 Kit, students will learn about the science of travel through the air. They will watch videos, participate in experiments, and perform research to investigate flight, evaluate the effects of air pressure, discover how birds fly, identify the basic parts of an airplane, and demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of lift and thrust. Using the Engineering Design Process, students will participate in a paper airplane challenge, which will allow them to apply their knowledge in real time to create and improve upon a far-flying paper airplane design. The kit culminates with students examining a real-life drone up close and in flight.
Level 2 - Prepare for flight
In the Drones Level II Kit, students will gain valuable experience in piloting small, aerial vehicles. They will use a simple UAV to learn important vocabulary surrounding the use of personal drones. Every student will take turns piloting the drone and also acting as the Visual Observer to develop good habits for safe flying. Each module is designed to progressively build on the previous, challenging students to increase knowledge and experience from piloting missions and challenges. At the end of the course, students will verbalize important basic features of drones as well as vocabulary of movement in space. Students will gain hands-on experience piloting and spotting for drone missions.
Level 3 - Qualified for flight
The Deploy Drone Level III kit prepares young pilots for true success in flight. Working with safety and drone regulations, students will acquire the knowledge and appreciation needed to fly safely in and out of the classroom. This kit supports students in improving piloting skills while also exploring the science behind flight and drones. Allowing for research and hands-on application, the modules build into challenges and tasks to give plenty of flight time with support. The kit begins with students building a snap together drone then culminates by combining flight skill, science, and teamwork with fun competition.
Level 4 - Certified for flight
The Certified for Flight, Level IV Kit introduces students to the next level of becoming a Certified Drone Pilot. Throughout the modules, students will be exposed to a variety of tasks and knowledge building activities that will grow their confidence and prepare them to pass the Part 107 Drone Pilot License exam. By the end of this kit, students will be versed in how to build and repair a drone, read Aeronautical Charts, and conduct flight plans for various situations.
