Sky Op
SkyOp is a drone training company based in Canandaigua, NY that has developed a drone-based curriculum specifically for high school juniors and seniors. Most businesses are going to adopt drone technology in the next 5 years and our programs offer a career pathway to this line of work. Currently we license our curriculum to over 60 High Schools, Colleges, and Organizations in 19 states. Our curriculum is accredited by STEM.org, a leading STEM education research and credentialing organization. SkyOp courseware teaches students about the different uses and real-world applications of drones across multiple industries, such as agriculture, construction, inspection, insurance, media, marketing, security, and more. We also prepare the students to be FAA-certified Commercial drone pilots. They will be able to use those skills to complete jobs from aerial photography to data collection using autonomous flight programming. Please refer to service code 550.061 for full service details.
