The global drone market will grow from $14 billion in 2018 to over $43 billion in 2024. (The Drone Delivery Report 2019-2024). There are already businesses in Australia that have started delivering products. From coffee to mail and even vaccines. Drones are now becoming a larger part of the logistics industry.

All units of work designed and created by She Maps are linked to the Australian Curriculum across multiple learning areas both inside and outside the STEM-identified subjects. By using these programs you help to equip your students with the necessary STEM skills and knowledge that will enable them to engage with the careers of the future. Working in collaboration with schools we set out to achieve the five strategies of action outlined in the Australian STEM education strategy.
