What Drone Legends does

Drone Legends, the trade name of Dynamic Learning Experiences, LLC (NJ-based LLC, headquarters in Maple Shade, NJ), is a privately held K-12 STEM education company that delivers a vertically aligned drone education pathway spanning kindergarten through grade 12 and into junior college CTE. The portfolio covers Little Legends (K-3 story-based STEM), STEM Fundamentals and STEM Expeditions (grades 4-8 missions and coding), FPV Initiator (First-Person View racing and precision piloting for middle and high school), the Advanced UAS Precision Pilot program (high school and junior college workforce preparation aligned to NIST test methods via a partnership with Influential Drones), the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification test-prep curriculum, and the Egyptian Expedition coding simulator. All programs are delivered and supported through the Drone Legends Educator Portal (DLEP), and the company co-founded the Unified Scholastic Drone Racing Association (USDRA), a scholastic FPV esports and in-person competition league whose annual school membership is bundled with the FPV line. The hardware stack is anchored by a core partnership with Orqa for NDAA-compliant FPV goggles, controllers, and micro drones, and third-party validation comes from STEM.org accreditation and alignment to NGSS, ISTE, CSTA, and CTE standards.

The business model combines one-time, hardware-inclusive curriculum bundles (priced from $3,499 for a small-class STEM Fundamentals kit to $12,500 for a fully equipped FPV Initiator Standard Bundle) with recurring subscription layers, including FAA Part 107 site licenses, the Egyptian Expedition digital coding simulator, and USDRA memberships. Turnkey delivery, multi-year contracts, unlimited Zoom-based professional development, and ongoing DLEP support are positioned as the key reasons teachers without drone experience can adopt the program. Distribution is exclusively direct: a consultative inside-sales motion targeting K-12 districts, individual schools, and CTE directors via phone (866-376-6338), email ([email protected]), and a quote/demo booking flow, with no channel partners or resellers. Customer reach is reported at 25,000+ students and 2,500+ teachers trained across 48 U.S. states and 6 countries (UK, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Malaysia, and Milan); Fresno Unified School District is the only publicly named district customer. The company is self-described as founder-led with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity.
