Research and Learning
We Learn in Public
846s documents what happens, reflects on it honestly, and shares what we are still figuring out. Learning is not a finished product.
Where we are focusing our learning
- Emotional Intelligence and technical learning
- Culturally grounded human development
- Barriers to FAA certification
- BIPOC participation in aviation
- Women and girls in emerging technology
- Community workforce development
- Mentoring and academic confidence
- Technology access
- Violence prevention through belonging and opportunity
- Employment and entrepreneurship pathways
- Responsible community drone applications
- Human centered approaches to AI and emerging technology
These are areas of active inquiry, not claims of completed research. AIEI is a developing framework informed by practice, reflection, existing Emotional Intelligence knowledge, and community learning.
Ten questions every community mission must answer
- 01What problem are we trying to understand?
- 02Who is affected?
- 03What does the community want to know?
- 04Is a drone appropriate?
- 05What permissions are required?
- 06How will safety and privacy be protected?
- 07What information will be collected?
- 08Who will interpret the results?
- 09How will findings be returned to the community?
- 10What human benefit should the mission create?
A drone is a tool, not a purpose. If a mission cannot answer these questions, it is not ready to fly.
How we handle evidence
- We publish what is verified and label what is proposed.
- We do not claim clinical, diagnostic, or globally validated outcomes.
- We do not promise employment, income, or financial returns.
- We publish corrections when we get something wrong.
