The high school shop teacher Mykola Bazhaniuk from Sharhorod in the Vinnytsia region is making kamikaze drones for a reconnaissance unit. He learned how to make them online. The teacher also hopes to involve youth in this endeavor.
Mykola is 59 and at the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, he wanted to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but was not accepted due to health reasons. So, he decided to make drones for the defenders.
“The cost of a drone is between 9,000 and 10,000 hryvnias,” said Mykola. He raises funds for the components on social media. He provides them to the military for free.
“Funds are a sensitive issue, and it requires a lot of explanation for people to understand why you are raising this money. Through presentations and videos that I make and post on social media, I demonstrate that all of this is being done right here and now. And it will go to where it will destroy the enemy. It’s important to remember that the war is still ongoing today. Donating once is not enough, because that’s only a certain number of drones.”
He hopes to organize youth clubs outside of school to share his knowledge with them.

That’s great! I would love to set up a fundraising here and build drones for Ukraine and ship them over. Thoughts are brewing 🙂
Wonderful! Hands on tech is the way to teach!
