Mapping Our School
A team maps the school sports field from above and debates where a new park should go.
Early Years to graduation
A journey that grows
with every learner.
Learners begin with senses, sensors and the sky. As their understanding grows, they investigate Artificial Intelligence (AI), data and code, test designs, and explain increasingly ambitious projects.
The learner’s journeyFrom first flight
From first flight
to a final project.
These three illustrative examples show how Fanoos and Saqqar develop together through primary, middle and secondary learning.
The Early Years foundation
Before these projects, children explore artificial or natural things, senses and sensors. Saqqar introduces the sky through story and play.
Primary · Ages 6–11 · Grades 1–5 · Years 2–6 The two curriculaFanoos
Senses, sensors and the idea that people teach intelligent systems with data.
Saqqar
Sky safety, route coding, simulation and a supervised first hover.
Middle years · Ages 11–14 · Grades 6–8 · Years 7–9 Energy from Above
At a desert solar field, learners use drone thermal imaging to find three underperforming panels.
The two curriculaFanoos
Labelled data, machine learning, bias and an ethical case for a decision.
Saqqar
Simulator discipline, Python flight scripts, a 3D-printed airframe part and supervised FPV flight.
Secondary · Ages 14–18 · Grades 9–12 · Years 10–13 Seeds from Above
Their drone maps and treats a reclaimed desert plot row by row, then the team defends its data to an expert panel.
The two curriculaFanoos
Advanced machine learning, neural networks, generative AI and designing fairer systems.
Saqqar
Avionics, flight programming, risk assessment and a Build, Fly and Defend capstone.
These projects illustrate curriculum progression. They do not describe an individual pupil.

Learning you can
see and explain.
At each stage, pupils make or investigate something, then explain the choices behind it. The work grows from early designs to tested AI ideas and engineering projects.
Both curricula are supported across British and American curriculum settings. In American curriculum settings, Fanoos covers KG–Grade 12; ask us which curriculum and year groups fit your school.
