The "Eaglets of Russia" program, a groundbreaking aviation and drone initiative, is making waves in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. Launched in 2021 by the Russian Ministry of Education, this program is designed to inspire young aviators through a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) approach.
The program, now operational in all schools in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, targets younger students (Junior level: Grades 1 to 5). It offers a unique blend of theoretical and practical lessons on aviation and drone flying, aiming to educate children about the science of flight and develop their skills through engaging, hands-on drone activities integrated seamlessly into the curriculum[1].
The "Eaglets of Russia" program encourages students to understand flight concepts and advance their technical knowledge and operational expertise with drones, fostering interest in aerospace fields from an early age. It’s part of a broader enrichment curriculum intended to engage children in various innovative and experiential learning activities, linking STEM education with practical applications in aviation and robotics[1].
The program also emphasizes the importance of civic responsibility and team values. During the recent event at School No. 6 named after Lelechuk, participants worked together on small tasks, demonstrating the spirit of collaboration that underpins the program[2].
