The Wakayama Drone Future Study Group has conducted crowdfunding at CAMPFIRE to open a children's drone class so that the future of glittering children can be further expanded to the sky and the cutting-edge drones can be known more easily.
-To get to know the exciting world and open up new possibilities-

Wakayama Drone Future Study Group is currently applying to "NPO corporation (specified non-profit organization)".
Originally, it was a hobby group formed by adults who wanted to fly drones. At the beginning of the formation, I imagined activities to go out together to sightseeing spots and famous places called secret places, take aerial photographs, and enjoy flying. Is it like touring on a motorcycle? However, I couldn't do what I wanted because of Korona-ka, so I went to a famous place and took aerial shots, uploaded the video to YouTube, and enjoyed the images I took on my smartphone. ..

■ Background of launching the project
The reality is that children born in rural areas have few options for activities (play) other than school, but I want to teach that this does not mean that the possibility of future vocational choices is low. May open.
The children's school was temporarily closed due to the Korona-ka, sports activities were stopped, and sports might be a healthy body. I think it's time for us adults to reflect on the silent teaching that "sports activities get sick" to children.
No matter how rural it is, few children run around in mountains and rivers. Some kids spend their time playing mobile games and aim to become professional gamers, but most people just kill time. I don't think it's a healthy life.
Drone racing is becoming established as a sport, but I think that the competitive population and the existence of competitions are still developing, and their popularity will continue to rise. We are convinced that it is not about sports, but about the children's future profession.
Children's drone classrooms have a low probability of virus infection, are safer, and can be expected to be mechanically interesting for mechanics, and for children who are good at flying, to get jobs that are very socially useful in the future, programming. The area of can also be taught depending on the aircraft. There are many things to learn about the importance of shooting and better shooting methods if the aircraft is equipped with a camera, not just flying. We want to hold a drone classroom with endless possibilities by spreading it to children, although there are only a few things that can be thought of with the rigid minds of adults! I think.
I have rented a large and tall warehouse to a specific person and experienced an indoor flight experience.
■ What you want to achieve in this project
I want to expand the options for what my children, their friends, relatives' children, neighbors' children, and future people can do (professions)! I would like to hold a drone class for children for that purpose.
Someone who doesn't actually use it says it's difficult and dangerous. It's the same as a car. Even when the Internet became widespread, many people reported that it was dangerous. There are many people who have never touched drones with such incorrect information. The wrong information will be passed on to the child and will be completely delayed from the world in the future. A lecture by a university professor predicts that in the future, more than half of today's children will work outside of Japan. I want to realize the advantage that even local children know the cutting edge.
Rural areas are advantageous for drones, first of all, rural areas with a small population are very less inconvenient. Currently, there are various restrictions on drones that fly outdoors, and it has been decided that it will become stricter as the drone population increases. I know it's a bill that will be enforced for the safety of people other than those who operate the drone, but that doesn't mean the drone is bad. It has already been effectively used for rescue activities and luggage transportation in other countries.
The drone classroom will be held indoors. So, now I asked someone who has a warehouse of a certain size and height to provide me with a place, so I did some classroom activities. Since I did it in winter, I closed the windows and the entrance to fly, but in the spring and summer, I would like to fly the drone with the windows fully open and the entrance fully open. Therefore, it is necessary to devise a way to prevent the drone from going out with a vinyl net.
■ Introduction of our area
Shimotsucho Town, Kainan City, Wakayama Prefecture is the main activity area. A place rich in nature with mountains, rivers and the sea, and a lot of vast private land, hobby drones are easy to fly with personal permission. Even if I walk for a while, I rarely meet people, and most of them have never seen a drone.
As a local industry, it is a production center of mandarin oranges, and although there are many mountains, most of them are mandarin orange trees.
■ How to use the funds ・ Implementation schedule
Internet equipment 300,000 at all openings of the rented warehouse
A drone that can shoot and program while being a hobby drone
Tello (RyzeTech) 22,000 x 5 machines = 110,000 + handling fee
If you can expect more (when you reach 1 million), we will make the classroom even better.
The drone that seems to be the best performance in the current hobby drone
DJImini2 87,000 x 4 machines = 348,000
Facility rent (including electricity and parking) 10,000 x 2 times = 20,000
Newspaper insert advertisement creation and distribution 50,000 x 1 time = 50,000 + commission
■ Implementation plan
About twice a month (1 day, 1 night) Scheduled to start in July
■ Finally
Are local children inferior? That's not true! They have few choices, low competition, and may live differently from urban children, but their abilities themselves may be high.
I think it is necessary to let the children come into contact with the drone sooner so that Japan can work in Japan and develop its economy, a country that is not behind the world.
In order to raise the level of Japan's economy and technology, I would like to hold a lot of "children's drone classes" in the sense that we will be active from rural areas. Thank you.
