Drone Chanter Academy is an educational institute that specialises in delivering quality drone education. It was founded in December 2022 with the aim of supplementing the local education curriculum with real world experience so that our children can grow with relevant skills for this 21st and exciting century. It took us months to gather up relevant information and design the skeleton of what we wanted our program to look like and put everything in writing so that it becomes a wholesome package for learning. Our main focus is on children from the age of 6 because we believe this is a critical stage where dreams of life are shaped.
We have certain values that we stand by at Drone Chanter Academy that we also hope our students can adopt in how they operate. The values are:
Blending STE(A)M (Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics) with Social Emotional Learining (SEL) to develop Africa's tomorrow well versed technological gurus; confident adults who feel ready to navigate the complex and rapidly changing realities of the world together.
Giving our students an educational experience they will cherish for a lifetime.
Our curriculum was also designed to align with our new national curriculum that was redesigned and launched in 2013 with the introduction of STE(A)M learning and its mandate being to promote a competency-based approach. This is realised through practical-oriented learning and other strategies. It is envisaged that the curriculum will shift from a content-based curriculum, which focuses on knowledge acquisition, to a competency-based curriculum, which focuses on the learners capacity to apply knowledge, skills and attitudes in an independent, practical and responsible way. This would mobilise the potential of Zimbabwean learners to compete successfully in the labour market locally and abroad.
Drone Chanter Academy has a curriculum that includes the following topics:
Drone Chanter Academy is not just offering a fun and intersting way to learn through drones but our curriculum has been carefully put together to ensure that students also gain different skills that they can use in different aspects of their lives. We also have highly qualified personnel who will be teaching the students during the course of their studies. The following is what we are offering our students.
Drones are not just cool gadgets, they are powerful educational tools. They provide a practical way to engage students with complex mathematical concepts like geometry, algebra and spatial understanding. Imagine learning about geometric shapes and algebraic studies through the flight patterns and designs of drones!
The use of drones in education goes beyond technical skills. It fosters higher-order thinking skills like problem-solving, critical thinking and creativity skills. Students learn to analyse, design, and execute drone-based projects, enhancing their analytical and creativity abilities.
Drones encourage a collaborative learning environment. Students and educators can work together on project that involve exploration, discovery, and innovation. This teamwork fosters a sense of community and cooperation in the learning process.
