“We couldn’t be more excited to launch FPV Initiator,” said Scott Buell, Founder and CEO of Drone Legends. “Until today, our programs were aimed at grades 4-8, but the clamor for drone programs for older students was just too loud to ignore. The educators we’ve talked to over the last year are excited to see how we are going to create a drone curriculum that matches the educational value and fun of our flagship product, STEM Fundamentals.”

Everything You Need, Right Out of the Box
With FPV Initiator, educators receive an extensive kit, including Orqa FPV One Race goggles, drones, and accessories, course materials like mini arch gates and race flags, curriculum handbooks, and access to an online curriculum.
