Teach science and math with drones.

Free and open-source drone lessons for Grades 3–11, ready to teach. They are built on the Philippine DepEd MATATAG curriculum, but they cover standard physics and math that any teacher can use — teachers in more than 30 countries already do. Download a pack here, find more on Lumipad Learning, or book a free workshop for your school.

Mapped to the official DepEd MATATAG curriculum.

We read every Grade 3–10 Science and Mathematics lesson in the MATATAG curriculum, plus the Grade 11 course guides, and mapped the 230 lessons where a drone session connects to what learners are already studying — 147 of them as a core fit. Every grade, and every quarter of the school year.

Book a Lumipad workshop

We travel to schools anywhere in the Philippines for a full day: the lesson, a drone simulator and quiz, a toy-drone team competition, and flying a real drone by hand gesture. We bring the equipment, the food and the prizes. We are working to expand across Southeast Asia in late 2026 and early 2027.

  • One full day, usually a Saturday
  • Students fly toy drones indoors only
  • Teachers get the packs to continue
