HANDS-ON, FULL-STACK FAA Part 107 certification PrepARATION
FTW’s platform blends key Part 107 topics with hands-on, real-world drone missions, and a premier test-prep course built for the modern learner.
learning reimagined
Build Fly Code
A cutting-edge STEM and workforce readiness program that transforms the classroom into a drone education career pathway. Students engage in simulated industry-focused challenges to build, fly, code, and compete against peers nationwide.
Leaderboard
A digital competition computer application designed to elevate the classroom and school-wide BFC experience. Leaderboard enables schools to organize, score, and showcase team results in real-time.
Lesson Elements

Teacher Lesson Plan
The BFC curriculum features detailed, real-world case study-based lessons that showcase how drones are used across diverse industries. Each lesson includes setup schematics, extension activities, embedded formative assessments, and sample responses—providing educators with everything they need to deliver engaging, standards-aligned instruction.

Teacher Slide Deck
Topics are introduced with embedded test-prep questions to reinforce understanding. Each case study simulation is paired with a thoughtfully designed slide deck that helps teachers guide students. Each deck provides real-world context, outlines key details, and sets clear expectations for each phase of execution, ensuring a cohesive and engaging learning experience.

Student Workbook
The BFCC curriculum includes a versatile student workbook—available in both digital and printable formats.. Students use their workbook to log data, respond to scenario-based questions, and reflect on their findings during each simulation, deepening understanding of key concepts.
2025/2026 COMPETE CHALLENGES



EMERGENCY RESPONSE
This flying challenge simulates real-life drone-assisted FIREFIGHTING
missions, where drones are deployed to hazardous areas to help extinguish fires. This scenario mirrors how emergency services use drones to access otherwise unreachable areas and provide critical support during firefighting efforts.

CROP CARE
This challenge simulates real-world AGRICULTURAL
practices where drones are used to monitor and treat crops
efficiently. In this head-to-head competition, teams will fly their Hopper® drones to identify and treat crop areas, working collaboratively to ensure precise navigation and effective decision-making.

PACKAGE DELIVERY
As drones become increasingly relevant in LOGISTICS, this challenge reflects real world drone delivery applications. Teams will demonstrate how Hopper® drones can address delivery challenges using custom code. The goal is to simulate small package deliveries, showcasing how drones can optimize delivery.

students don't just study FAA regulations...
they experience them.
FTW’s FAA Part 107 programming is built on the foundation of Build Fly Code and blends Part 107 knowledge areas like airspace classifications, weather interpretation, emergency procedures, drone maintenance, and regulatory compliance into each lesson. Like BFC, lessons incorporate simulated, scenario-based problem solving, and formative assessments, to support key Part 107 topics. The result is a deeply experiential approach that keeps students actively engaged while developing the technical knowledge and confidence needed for drone pilot certification and workforce readiness.
