Drone European Platform, DEP, is an Erasmus+ project coordinated by CECE – Confederación Española de Centros de Enseñanza – in which three VET agricultural schools from Europe, an italian company who provides labour-connected services in accreditation with Regione Lazio, and a Dutch company of training and labour insertion are working to insert drones in education.

Past:
In the past few months, we been working on EDU DRONE project. We made the platform where you can find online course. The online course is divided into units where everybody can find useful information, and what is the most important, can experiment the knowledge by taking multiply choice test. During five days training in Valencia, we learned how to build a drone.
Future:
The next step is the cascade training. Each partner is obligated to train 36 persons. In total, we will train 180 drone leaders. During the cascade training, we will share the knowledge and experience gain during the past few months.
We will train new participants:
During the cascade training, each partner will make the report. The participants will be ask to complete a questionnaire for different units. The pros and cons will be used to improve the EDU DRONE platform.

EFA ORETANA is doing the Cascade training from the European project “ERASMUS + DRONE EUROPEAN PLATFORM” 2017-1-ES01-KA202-038136 www.edudrone.eu from 4th June to 11th June. The project is doing in EFA ORETANA instalations.
Engineer Mr. Adrián Santos, teacher at EFA ORETANA i, is in charge of putting into practice said training of this drone project where vocational Educational and training students in the field of forestry will be able to learn theoretical and practical aspects about drones and how to use them in the agriculture. The students will build some drones while Mr. Adrián Santos leads them and they follow the project’s guidelines.

Docentes de tres países de Europa se reúnen esta semana en la EFA La Malvesía de Llombai para desarrollar drones que se puedan aplicar en la agricultura y así acometer una modernización del sector. Dentro del programa Drone European Platform (DEP), profesores de Dinamarca, Holanda y España intercambian conocimientos para conseguir los drones más potentes que ayuden en la detección temprana de enfermedades y plagas en cultivos, la supervisión de áreas fumigadas, indicadores de calidad en cultivos, generación de inventarios de cosechas, monitoreo de grandes extensiones y un largo etcétera. Los docentes consideran que con la aplicación de los drones detectan lo que el ojo humano no ve y permiten ampliar las inspecciones de manera más exhaustiva.
«Es un proyecto internacional cuyo objetivo es crear una plataforma de conocimiento del mundo de los drones aplicado al sector agrario y a las escuelas de formación profesional dedicadas a este ámbito. Vamos a generar una plataforma web donde los usuarios podrán compartir información, tener acceso a material didáctico, a un curso donde se expondrá paso a paso la construcción de drones y a un manual sobre la aplicación de estos aparatos en la agricultura de precisión», señalaron José Luis Sebastián, Selina Martín y Miguel Guasp, coordinadores del programa. Durante cinco días profundizarán en la construcción de un dron, conocerán toda la legislación vigente relacionada con el tema y pondrán a prueba su proyecto. Unas competencias que en los próximos meses transmitirán e implementarán en el proceso de aprendizaje y en la formación de sus docentes y su alumnado. Todo con la meta de que conozcan las últimas novedades y entren al mercado laboral completamente formados.
CECE – Confederación Española de Centros de Enseñanza, dentro del marco de proyectos ERASMUS + está coordinando un proyecto innovador sobre la construcción de drones y su aplicación en la agricultura. En colaboración con 4 organizaciones y escuelas de formación profesional de 3 países europeos: Holanda, España y Dinamarca, durante la semana del 12 de noviembre se realizó una formación que consistió en formar a profesores sobre la construcción de drones y sobre la aplicación de éstos objetos en la agricultura.
El curso de formación se celebró en Llombai en la región de Valencia en la escuela EFA La Malvesia, y contó con varios expertos en drones que impartieron la formación: Joaquín Sanchez y Juanjo Martí.
Durante 5 días, los profesores y algunos alumnos de la EFA La Malvesia aprendieron a construir un dron y a volarlo.
Drone European Platformtiene una duración de dos años finalizando en el año 2019 , y tiene la misión de formar a 9 profesores y 36 alumnos de cada escuela que pertenece al proyecto, mediante un curso online elaborado por el consorcio que se puede encontrar en la página web del proyecto, a través de una plataforma Moodle.
Son varias las escuelas agrarias y organizaciones que promueven la formación profesional que pertenecen al proyecto:
Como coordinador del proyecto Drone European Platform:
Is building a drone so difficult for us to try? Some people from CECE Europa staff have decided to find out the answer in Valencia a few days ago. The objective of this trip is to promote activities about building drones for students, thanks to the EFA Malvesia.
First of all, the 11th of November the team arrived to Spain and made some photographs to keep those unforgettable moments in time. The 12th, the elected ones for destroying the Death Star learnt how to build a drone accompanied by Joaquin, the expert who went there in order to explain the process. The 13th they put it into practise. Other students of the EFA could also construct incredible drones. Finally, the 14th drones could finally begin with their aerial life controlled by their creators.
Here you have a video which demonstrates how funny those days have been. WHat are you waiting for? Build your own drone! Now you know it is possible.
Recently, Rudi Browning, a 15 years old boy, has won the drone racing that took place in the city of Shenzhen, China, the 4th of November of this year 2018, being awarded as FAI Drone Racing Champion. In that race 127 racers from 34 different countries were gathered for the incredible experience.
If you are stunned by his age and his attainments, from Edudrone you are given those tools that made Rudi Browning the winner of that competition. The total cost of the equipment is roughly 870,64 €, without taking into account the chasis, screws or motors. It is a considerable amount of money, yet once you got it, you will not think about anything but your drone and the breathtaking flights you will be able to enjoy. Don’t stay still, keep moving!
