Overview
Drones are among the most engaging STEM education tools available. Schools, universities, and youth programs use drone kits to teach physics, electronics, programming, and engineering. These educational programs cycle through equipment rapidly — a classroom of 30 students can wear through a fleet of training drones in a single semester. Sustainable procurement and disposal is essential.
Common Equipment
- Educational drone kits (Tello, CoDrone, DJI RoboMaster)
- Micro FPV trainers (Tiny Whoop, Mobula)
- Arduino/Raspberry Pi flight controllers
- Classroom charging stations
- Replacement prop and battery packs
- Simulator hardware (radios, dongles)
Recycling & Sustainability
Educational programs generate predictable volumes of retired drones each semester. Student training drones experience high crash rates, leading to frequent component replacement. We offer education-specific bulk pricing and provide recycling documentation that helps schools meet sustainability reporting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer discounts for schools?
Yes. Educational institutions receive discounted pricing on refurbished drones and free shipping on recycling returns. Contact us with your school's purchase order for education pricing.
Can students participate in the recycling process?
We offer educational partnerships where students learn safe disassembly procedures as part of STEM curriculum. Students gain hands-on experience with e-waste processing while their school earns recycling credits.
