Problem
Many schools and youth programs lack affordable, safe, and curriculum‑aligned resources to teach drone technology, limiting students’ exposure to emerging aviation and robotics skills. Educators often do not have prior drone experience, and indoor flight testing can be difficult to implement without specialized equipment.
Solution
Buildable&Crashable delivers the SOCR.Flight Training System, a turnkey indoor drone kit that enables beginners to assemble and operate a drone safely within a classroom or camp setting. The system bundles a build‑it‑yourself drone, all necessary parts and tools, step‑by‑step video tutorials, and a virtual flight simulator for practice before real‑world flights. An FAA‑ and industry‑aligned curriculum provides structured lessons in flight operations, aviation maintenance, and software, while a gamified management framework supplies checklists, manuals, and logbooks to streamline classroom oversight. The company also offers grant‑support assistance to help schools and camps secure funding and plan sustainable program implementation.
