00:01Here, drones don't just fly through the gym. They're part of the curriculum for these students.
00:08At Siotuvu School in Vilnius, children learn how to build, fly and program drones.
00:15How long did it take you to learn it?
00:18Maybe three years.
00:19Three years? Yeah.
00:21Wow. So, how old are you now?
00:23Forty.
00:24For students, the training has long since become a competition as well.
00:28At the so-called Vilnius drone games, teams from schools across the city compete against one another.
00:34In March, 27 schools came to Siotuvus for the event.
00:38Teachers are now also being trained for the project.
00:41In January, 25 teachers from 23 schools in the city visited Siotuvus to familiarize themselves with the initiative.
00:49It's not about, you know, piloting FPV drones, you know.
00:52So, piloting is just the one thing.
00:58But the bigger thing is programming, constructing, understanding maps and physics behind.
01:04Behind the competitions lie a larger plan.
01:07Vilnius wants to integrate drones more fully into schools as an investment in technological skills for the future,
01:13but also to better equip children on handling a technology that can pose a threat.
01:19Students are therefore encouraged to not only learn how to fly drones,
01:23but also possess a deep understanding of the underlying technology.
01:26We are preparing for this mass discussion and to make time for the future.
01:27We will find a way to manage the future.
01:27We will see how this will remain connected in a way.
01:28On the line of theicket to return to the world and its global power.
01:29The second stage of Möglichkeit is a very important for the event ofvar,
