Is your school participating in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Youth Drone Initiative? The goal of the initiative is to foster collaboration and share safety information and best practices within the youth drone community. If you are the leader, coach or faculty of a school, organization or club that educates or assembles students ages 11-18, then you won't want to miss this opportunity to engage directly with the FAA, drone industry, local governments, schools, and more. The FAA will host consortium meetings, events, and distribute drone resources for continued success and cultivation of the program. Participants will support the FAA's efforts to expand the aviation workforce of the future while providing opportunities in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to students while facilitating open dialogue between youth programs, industry, and government agencies to share regulatory changes, successes and solutions. The program is designed to establish important connections with youth organizations to help advance drone aviation as a workforce pathway alongside traditional aviation careers. To apply for the Youth Drone Initiative, send a message to 9-FAA-UAS-CTI@FAA.gov with your school, organization or club name and a brief description of your program.

Fullerton College Pioneers First West Coast Drone Bachelor's Degree Program A groundbreaking development in drone education is taking shape at Fullerton College, where the institution is set to launch its first-ever bachelor's degree program. The Bachelor of Science in Drone and Autonomous Systems, scheduled to begin in fall 2026, marks a significant milestone as the first program of its kind on the West Coast. The announcement came during a special campus event on December 3, 2024, complete with a fitting drone light show demonstration. Program chair Jay Seidel, who has successfully led the college's drone technology initiatives, emphasized the transformative nature of the industry: "Drones and autonomous systems are revolutionizing and transforming industries. This new baccalaureate degree is a testament to our commitment to innovation and providing our students with the skills needed for the jobs of tomorrow." The program builds upon Fullerton College's established success in drone education, which already includes two associate degrees and four specialized certificates. What sets this bachelor's program apart is its comprehensive approach to the drone industry, focusing on managerial and operational perspectives beyond basic pilot training. Current partnerships showcase the practical applications of the program, with students engaging in real-world projects such as monitoring marine life with the Pacific Marine Mammal Center and conducting research with Cal State Long Beach's Shark Lab. These hands-on experiences demonstrate the versatile applications of drone technology in various fields. The career prospects for graduates appear promising, with opportunities spanning project management, construction supervision, technical repair, and operational safety. Notable employers of current associate degree graduates include major organizations like SoCal Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric, and defense technology company Anduril. President Cynthia Olivo highlighted the program's transformational potential: "The future of career possibilities with drones and autonomous systems is endless, and I'm proud that Fullerton College is at the forefront of such innovation." DroneXL's Take This development represents a crucial step forward in drone education and workforce development. The program's focus on management and operations aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of the drone industry. As we've seen with the advancement of artificial intelligence in drones, the sector requires professionals who understand both technical and operational aspects of autonomous systems.
