Sections 01–03
Get ready
Introduction, materials, and the essential vocabulary of a drone.
The learning starts before lift-off.
A hands-on drone curriculum that turns curiosity into confidence — one build, challenge, and flight at a time.
Access my learningLift Off 1.0
More than a drone kit. A launchpad for real STEM learning.
Lift Off brings aviation, engineering, and physics off the page and into kids' hands. Learners explore how drones work, build their own aircraft, and gain the confidence to fly it safely.
What learners will do
A complete journey from first question to first flight.
Interactive lessons, knowledge checks, hands-on activities, and guided build and flight instruction keep learning active.
Start with safety
Set up a safe flying space, learn the rules, and build good habits from the first lesson.
Discover how flight works
Explore propellers, motors, airflow, lift, gravity, thrust, and drag through real examples.
Build with purpose
Follow guided, tool-free assembly steps and see how every part affects the aircraft.
Fly with confidence
Practice setup, takeoff, landing, and flight controls with clear safety guidance along the way.
Curriculum roadmap
Twelve sections. One unforgettable first flight.
Lift Off 1.0 aligns its science and engineering learning for Grades 3–5 with hands-on exploration at every stage.

-
Sections 11–12
Build & fly
Step-by-step assembly followed by binding, calibration, takeoff, landing, and flight skills.
Inside the flight deck
Progress should feel like an adventure.
The LMS makes every lesson, skill, and first flight feel like a meaningful step forward.
Make it their own
Every learner chooses an aviation callsign and avatar for a personal flight deck experience.
Learn by doing
Lessons pair clear explanations with quizzes, activities, and build and flight checkpoints.
Watch skills take off
XP, ranks, unlocked sections, and a flight log turn real progress into visible milestones.
Celebrate the achievement
Course completion earns a printable pilot license that recognizes the full journey.
Earn the wings
Real skills deserve real recognition.
Badges give learners meaningful goals along the way — and celebrate the work they put into each new skill.
