A new dedicated drone academy is set to open this fall at Tallinn University of Applied Sciences (TTK). Director Ott P\u00e4rna believes all students should receive drone training.<\/p>\n

The 1,500-square-meter facility in Mustam\u00e4e, which will welcome its first students in the fall, houses a robotics laboratory, simulation laboratory, drone arena and mobile robotics center.<\/p>\n

Tallinn University of Applied Sciences (TTK) was created by merging four of the capital’s different vocational schools.<\/p>\n

When the next academic year begins, TTK will have around 6,000 students, with director Ott P\u00e4rna believes they should all get the opportunity to undergo basic drone training.<\/p>\n

“Drones are everywhere. In construction, for example, they are used to check whether the joints on a building’s facade are letting moisture through. You just fly one up and take a look,” P\u00e4rna explained.<\/p>\n

“Drones are also used in the media, agriculture and logistics. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to try out drones \u2013 to learn how to build, repair, program, and fly them,” he explained.<\/p>\n
