Our Mission
At the Industrial Drone Association, we are dedicated to inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders by raising awareness about Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) through engaging, STEAM-based education. Our flagship program, UAS Success, provides students aged 12 to 18 with the tools and knowledge they need to explore and excel in Science, Technology, Electronics, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM), with a particular focus on Reality Capture Technology.
By integrating seamlessly with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum, we foster critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork, ensuring that students receive hands-on experiences that prepare them for a technology-driven future.
Building a Tech-Savvy Future
The future of innovation relies on equipping today’s students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in an increasingly digital and automation-driven world. Through UAS education, we:
Introduce students to cutting-edge drone technology and Reality Capture applications.
Prepare young minds for careers in industries such as engineering, logistics, robotics, and digital design.
Encourage problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration through project-based learning.
Ensure that students receive a state-aligned curriculum that can be seamlessly integrated into classrooms.
Hands-On Learning, Real-World Impact
Through UAS Success, students engage in meaningful, interactive learning experiences that translate to real-world applications. Our program includes:
UAS Success Workshops – Interactive training that introduces students to drone operation and industry applications.
TEKS-Aligned Curriculum – Ensuring that educators can integrate UAS education into their classrooms with ease.
Industry Partnerships – Connecting students with professionals and mentors in drone-related fields.
Accessible Education – Expanding opportunities for underserved communities, ensuring that every student has access to cutting-edge technology.
