I have two conflicting thoughts about starting a school drone program. It's true that such an experience could be life-changing for the participants. But on the other hand, it's expensive, and won't be available to all schools, nor to all students in the school (and the disadvantaged will be the least likely to be able to participate). This article talks about the educational purpose of drones, and even things like FAA regulations. But it doesn't ask the question of whether the purchase of drones is reasonable in the face of other needs.
