基辅——走廊入口处排列着木板，代替了学校校园附近最近一次俄罗斯无人机袭击打碎的窗户，该校位于乌克兰首都以南20英里处。校长表示，这些木板可能会成为永久设施，因为修复费用高达50万美元。
教室内，孩子们坐在老旧的苏联火炮旁——这些火炮是他们父母所在部队赠送的礼物——靠着教室墙壁，摆弄着铺在桌上的 sleek 第一人称视角（FPV）无人机。
“科技探索者”是乌克兰非营利组织“尊严”（Dignitas）运营的教育项目，为乌克兰军人子女提供免费课后课程，重点教授科学、技术、工程和数学知识。
教官们告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，这些课程的根本目的不是回避乌克兰与俄罗斯长达四年半的战争现实，而是直面这些现实。
学生们学习如何驾驶、组装和维修FPV无人机——这种技术已经改变了乌克兰的现代战场。
根据战略与国际研究中心的估计，无人机目前占双方伤亡人数的90%，但它们也越来越多地被用于后勤、医疗后送以及农业和配送服务等民用领域。

教室的一端，三名小学年龄段的男孩正在使用电脑模拟器，在游乐园和赛道等电子游戏场景中操控FPV无人机。另一端，另一组学生正忙着在3D打印机上按按钮，编程打印无人机的新机架。在学校地下室，另一批学生则操控已组装完成的微型无人机穿过圆环和梯子。
14岁的爱德华的父亲是乌克兰步兵，他已经成为一名非常出色的驾驶员，甚至开始辅助授课。
“战争爆发后我得到了第一台电脑，因为我需要在线学习，”他说，并提到他的在线学习时间很快就延伸到了无人机模拟器上。
在电脑上练习之后，爱德华开始参加基辅的业余无人机竞速比赛。
“现在我不常玩模拟器了，因为比起飞真实无人机，模拟器没那么有趣，”他说。“我有我的5英寸无人机，几天前我还自己组装了一台10英寸的无人机。”
当爱德华和他的同学们在地下室操控无人机时，他们的教官萨沙看到了一项更严肃的任务正在展开。
“我们不知道这场战争会持续多久，”他说。“这让孩子们有机会提升自己的技术知识，未来能以各种方式为国家发挥作用。”

萨沙有一个刚满1岁的儿子，最初他对是否教年幼的孩子驾驶无人机感到矛盾，因为目前无人机主要在乌克兰被军方使用。
但他认为，孩子们需要学习技能，为这个被战争改变的国家的生活做好准备，并将这些课后课程称为“帮助他们获得美好未来职业的重要一步”。
乌克兰蓬勃发展的国防和科技产业已成为日益重要的国家经济资产。该国IT行业目前占乌克兰GDP的3%以上，今年乌克兰的预计国防生产能力达550亿美元，约占其经济总产出的四分之一。
随着乌克兰适应战争改变其民众和社会机构的方式，全国各地的学校已经将基础医学和准军事训练纳入课程。
但萨沙指出，“科技探索者”采用了不同的方式：培训孩子们不是出于必要性，而是在战争创造的新空间中寻找个人兴趣。
对他的一些学生来说，这种方法似乎奏效了。
“我以前真的不喜欢工程学，”爱德华一边欣赏着身旁桌上的无人机一边告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。“但当我开始驾驶和了解无人机后，我越来越喜欢它了，现在我真的很热爱这个领域。我现在想上工程学院。”
Ukrainian schoolkids are learning how to fly drones, because “we don’t know how long this war will last”

Kyiv — Wooden boards line the entry corridor, replacing windows shattered by a recent Russian drone attack near the school’s campus, 20 miles south of Ukraine’s capital. The principal says they could become a permanent fixture, as repairs would cost $500,000.
Inside, children sit next to old Soviet guns — gifts from their parents’ military units — leaning against the classroom walls as they tinker with sleek, first-person-view (FPV) drones spread out across tables.
Tech Explorers, an educational program run by the Ukrainian nonprofit group Dignitas, operates free after-school sessions for children of Ukrainian service members, focused on teaching them science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The underlying purpose of the lessons, the instructors told CBS News, is not to shy away from the realities of Ukraine’s four-and-a-half year war with Russia, but to lean into them.
The students learn how to fly, build and repair FPV drones — technology that has transformed the modern battlefield in Ukraine.
Drones now account for 90% of the casualties being sustained by both sides, according to estimates by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, but they are also increasingly used for logistics, medical evacuations and in civilian sectors such as agriculture and delivery services.

On one end of the classroom, three elementary school-aged boys use computer simulators to fly FPV drones in video game settings such as amusement parks and racetracks. On the other side, another group is busy pressing buttons on a 3D printer, programming it to build new frames for drones. In the school’s basement, another cohort flies completed miniature drones through hoops and ladders.
Eduard, 14, whose father is a Ukrainian infantryman, has become such a talented pilot that he’s started assistant-teaching the lessons.
“I got my first computer when the war started, because I needed to study online,” he said, noting that his online class time soon extended into time spent on a drone simulator.
After practicing on the computer, Eduard began entering recreational drone racing competitions in Kyiv.
“Now I don’t often play the simulator, because that’s less interesting to me than flying real drones,” he said. “I have my 5-inch drone and a couple days ago I built my own 10-inch drone.”
While Eduard and his students chase their drones around the basement, their instructor Sasha sees a more serious mission unfolding.
“We don’t know how long this war will last,” he said. “It is an opportunity for children to improve their technical knowledge and be useful in the future in their country and in various ways.”

Zelenskyy seeks Ukraine-Russia energy ceasefire, U.S. drones deal details emerge
With a son at home who just turned 1 year old, Sasha was originally conflicted about whether to teach young children how to fly drones, which are still primarily used in the country by its military.
He decided that kids need to learn skills to prepare them for life in a country that has been transformed by the war, and he called the after-school lessons “a significant step for them to achieve good future professions.”
Ukraine’s burgeoning defense and technology industries have become increasingly important national economic assets. The country’s IT sector now makes up over 3% of Ukraine’s GDP, and this year, Ukraine’s projected defense production capacity is $55 billion, roughly a quarter of its total economic output.
As Ukraine adjusts to the ways the war has transformed its people and institutions, schools across the country have woven basic medicine and pre-military training into their curriculums.
But, Sasha notes, Tech Explorers takes a different approach, training children not out of necessity — but instead searching for individual passions in the new spaces the war has created.
For some of his students, the approach seems to be working.
“I didn’t really like engineering before,” Eduard told CBS News, admiring the drones on the table beside him. “But when I started flying and learning about drones, I liked it more, and now I really like it. Now I want to go to engineering college.”
