  • Summary

  • The podcast has been on a bit of a hiatus and I am excited to be back. Had a few changes happening, but let’s get back to the podcast! Discover drones is your go to resource for learning about drones, drones and business, emerging drone technology and drones in STEM education. I am Dr. Heather Monthie, an FAA certificated, flight instructor, commercial pilot, remote pilot and dedicated stem educator. Join us as we discover more about drone safety, urban Air Mobility, business and education. Let’s get started. FULL TRANSCRIPT:Hi there stranger. Welcome back to The Discover drones podcast. It has been just about two years since we have done an episode on this podcast. But I am back. And I think that what I wanted to do today is just reintroduce what we’re doing here with the podcast, and what we can expect going forward. So when I first started the Discover drones podcast, I started it, it was started out as a quarantine project in the summer of 2020. And the I usually attend the Oshkosh air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and it was canceled for the year. So I thought I’m gonna start a podcast about drones. And like many of us, we pick up projects, and they kind of get put out into the wayside when we get busy with other things. And I had a change in my career, I had a change in some other things. And so it kind of got put off to the wayside. And so I wanted to start up the podcast again. And I kind of thought I was gonna start up a separate podcast for educators who drone. And if you’re not familiar, or not a part of educators who drone it is a global community of parents and teachers and STEM education advocates and pilots who are interested in using drones in the classroom to teach children, young adults and even adults about different STEM education related topics. So things like coding, robotics, aerodynamics, weather, all that kind of fun stuff. So I had originally thought I was going to start a separate podcast for educators who join and I thought, no, let’s just put this all together with discovered drones. So what I’m going to do with this podcast, we’re still going to talk about drone related content, starting your own drone business, getting clients that kind of stuff, and figuring out what your niche is helping you pass the FAA part 107 exam, if you’re not in the US, providing you some resources to pass whatever exam is required in your country, all that kind of stuff. But there is a very, very, very distinct need for let’s talk a little bit more about how we can use drones in the classroom. And so when we talk about, you know, this concept of educators who drone these are going to be your people who are really interested in helping to teach the next generation the skills needed for the future of work, such as skills like problem solving, and creativity and computer science, robotics, engineering, aviation, cybersecurity, all the stuff that we’re seeing coming up in the future. And so what we’ll do is we’ll talk a little bit about so I’m what I’m going to do is I’m going to have separate like sort of sub episodes, where we’ll call it educators who drone. And this is where we’re going to talk about things about, like, how do we integrate drones into drones into the curriculum? How do we teach with drones, all that really, really good stuff. So let me re introduce myself, it’s been, you know, a little bit, if you just found this podcast, that’s great. You can go back there’s 10 episodes that we recorded in 2020 for the podcast. But the like I said, things have changed in my life. And I’m sure in yours as well. So but my background with aviation, computer science, education, has really all sort of come together with the, with drones. And I all growing up, I thought I was going to become an airline pilot, I was working on all of my pilot ratings, while I was going to school to get my degree in computer science. And for a few different reasons. My career as an airline pilot didn’t work out.
