The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to gain hands-on drone flight experience and earn their FAA Remote Pilot certification through an immersive, university-affiliated program.
The CSU Spur Drone Aviation Summer Program is an immersive one-week seminar designed for high school students and instructors. Participants will engage in classroom instruction and hands-on flight operations, learning to fly various uncrewed aircraft. The curriculum includes engaging lectures, breakout sessions, and real-world mission planning scenarios using UAV aircraft. A key outcome of the program is gaining the knowledge and experience necessary to pass the FAA Part 107 exam, leading to certification as a Remote Pilot. The program aims to facilitate workforce development and train the next generation of aviators, particularly reaching diverse groups and under-represented populations in the industry. It is based on the CSU Drone Center's popular Drone Flight School curriculum.
A typical day includes a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on flight time with various uncrewed aircraft, engaging lectures, and breakout sessions, culminating in real-world mission planning scenarios.
This program is ideal for high school students aged 14-18 interested in aviation, drone technology, and pursuing certification as a Remote Pilot.
