Drona AviationCertificate of Completion
Certified STEM
Drone Educator
This is to certify that
has completed the program and passed the final evaluation.
Why this skill matters
STEM, robotics, ATL, and innovation labs are now expected to give students exposure to future technologies. Drones are becoming one of the most exciting tools for teaching aerodynamics, electronics, sensors, coding, problem-solving, and project-based learning.
Pluto drones are already present in thousands of schools and colleges across India. As adoption grows, schools will need educators who can teach drones safely, practically, and confidently.
Add drone education to your teaching profile.
Relevant for robotics labs, STEM labs, and ATL spaces.
Teach using real hardware, not just slides.
Stand out from regular coding and robotics trainers.
Who should join
