From Drone Theory to Flight Practice in One Go... Recruiting 5th-6th Grade Elementary to 3rd Grade Middle School Students in Songpa-gu Until July 7

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is operating the ‘Songpa SSEM Drone School’ to actively support the development of talents and aptitudes of local youth, and is recruiting the first batch of students.

Songpa-gu planned the drone school using its own education model, Songpa SSEM (Songpa Smart Education Model).

The ‘Songpa SSEM Drone School’ is a program that supports the development of talents and aptitudes of youth through systematic education including drone theory and practical drone flight experience in the future growth industry of drones, fostering creative talents for the 4th industrial revolution era.

Since March this year, the district has been developing a basic drone education curriculum for students from 5th and 6th grades of elementary school to 3rd grade of middle school in cooperation with SQ Unmanned Aviation Education Center ‘Drone Iyagi’, a local drone specialized education institution.

From July, the ‘Songpa SSEM Drone School’ will be officially operated and students will be recruited.

The tuition fee is 100,000 KRW, with two-thirds supported by Songpa-gu (200,000 KRW supported out of the total 300,000 KRW tuition). Local youth (elementary grades 5 and 6 to middle school grade 3) wishing to enroll can download the application form from the Songpa-gu Office website, fill it out, and apply via the designated email by July 7.

The first batch of the ‘Songpa SSEM Drone School’ will be conducted as an ‘Introductory Comprehensive Course’ consisting of ▲basic drone theory and principles ▲simulator flight practice ▲coding drone programming and flight practice ▲basic experiences in drone soccer and filming.

Starting July 11, the first batch of the ‘Songpa SSEM Drone School’ will hold classes once a week for 4 weeks on Saturdays (morning and afternoon sessions), each lasting 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Some flight experience and practical training sessions will invite parents to participate together, and upon completion of the course, students will receive a certificate issued by the education center.

The education location is ‘Drone Iyagi’ (216 Jungdae-ro, Songpa-gu), equipped with ‘drone simulators’, ‘coding flight drones’, and ‘soccer drones’, allowing participation without purchasing separate equipment.

Starting with basic education, the ‘Songpa SSEM Drone School’ plans to expand to ▲‘Applied and Advanced Courses’ such as drone filming and drone soccer ▲‘National Certification Acquisition Courses’ in the future.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “Through Songpa’s own education model ‘Songpa SSEM’, we will implement smart education policies so that local youth can develop creative talents. We will continue to actively support local youth with customized educational services to help them adapt well to the rapidly changing future era.”
