STEMFINITY, a long-time trusted client of ours with multiple purchases, recently introduced the Oriental Navigation 6m×3m×3m inflatable drone arena into their makerspace. This fully enclosed safe space has made the institution’s drone teaching and interactive activities both fun and worry-free, becoming a popular experience zone for students.
Why STEMFINITY Chose Oriental Navigation Inflatable Arena
As an institution focused on youth STEM education, STEMFINITY recognized the 3 core advantages of this inflatable arena:
- All-Encompassing Safety Protection: The mesh enclosure combined with the inflatable buffer frame completely eliminates the risk of drones losing control or colliding, making it ideal for younger students;
- Flexible and Lightweight Deployment: The inflatable design can be quickly set up and stored, with the 6m×3m×3m size perfectly fitting the institution’s indoor activity area. When not in use, it can be folded for compact storage;
- Adaptable for Teaching Scenarios: The arena includes drone takeoff and landing markers, allowing for basic flight training or transforming into a competitive racetrack with added obstacles, covering teaching needs from beginner to advanced levels.
Inflatable Arena in STEMFINITY’s Teaching and Activity Scenarios
1. Drone Beginner Practical Classes
In the “Youth Drone Introduction Class,” students practice basic operations such as takeoff and hovering within the inflatable arena. The enclosed space allows beginners to focus on mastering the control logic without worrying about losing the equipment. Since the arena was introduced, student retention in this course has increased by 45%.
2. STEM Competition Training Track
For competing students, STEMFINITY uses the inflatable arena paired with obstacle components to create a mini drone racing track, simulating competition scenarios for training. The enclosed nature of the arena prevents interference with the equipment, making training more efficient and organized.
3. Family STEM Open Day
During the “Tech Experience Day” for families, the inflatable arena becomes a “Safe Interaction Zone.” Children experience drone flying under the supervision of their parents. The mesh design allows parents to relax, ensuring both a “fun experience and knowledge sharing” goal.
The Changes the Inflatable Arena Brought to STEMFINITY
This inflatable arena has not only improved the safety of the teaching environment but also become a “value-added feature” for the institution’s recruitment:
- The safety features have attracted more families with young children, lowering the entry barrier to STEM technology experiences;
- The flexible deployment feature allows the space to quickly switch between teaching, competition, and experience modes, increasing space utilization by 30%;
- The immersive flight experience has increased student participation and enthusiasm, leading to more student-shared content that brought additional exposure to the institution.
For institutions focused on STEM education, the Oriental Navigation inflatable arena is the ideal choice for balancing “safety, fun, and practicality.” As demonstrated by STEMFINITY’s practice, it makes teaching technology easier and enhances the student experience.
