Airtech drone training expansion in Lithuania

Overview

The Airtech drone training program continues to expand its educational footprint across Lithuania, providing instruction in the construction, programming, and piloting of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for students and adults. Initial developments focused on expanding reach in Jonava, where age-adapted curricula for grades 3 through 12 include basic operations, advanced FPV piloting, and 3D printing. The program also established a presence in Ukmergė through a partnership with the Lithuanian Non-formal Education Support Agency (LINEŠA) and the local municipality, targeting 150 students annually. The initiative grew to include a center in Panevėžys, located in the regional STEAM center, which aims to train approximately 300 young people per year. Recent expansions include the opening of a methodical training center in Plungė. A collaborative effort between LINEŠA, the Plungė District Municipality, and the Plungė School of Technology and Business, the center provides technological education for children and adults, with goals to train at least 100 students and 50 adults this year. The facility focuses on skills applicable to agriculture, technology, and security, serving professionals such as police officers and security service employees. On September 8, the Airtech drone control training center officially opened at the Plungė Technology and Business School (TVM). During the opening ceremony, LINEŠA Director Valdas Jankauskas noted that the Airtech network is expanding and emphasized that drone technology is becoming an integral part of daily life, moving beyond purely defensive applications. Officials stated the center provides skills useful for both peacetime activities and military service preparation. Furthermore, a seventh facility has been established at the Klaipėda Technology Training Center. This center aims to train at least 200 students by the end of the year, addressing the national demand for engineering and UAV specialists while strengthening the region’s technological potential.
