Drone Challenge (Middle Grades)

Campers will test, improve, and complete exciting drone challenges through hands-on problem solving and creativity.

5 Half-Day Camp

Campers will explore the exciting world of drone technology while learning the science behind flight, balance, control, and design. Through building, testing, and improving their creations, students will use the engineering design process to solve problems and refine performance. Once their drones are ready, campers will put their skills to the test through exciting challenges and missions, including creating and testing a drone delivery system. Students will leave with a deeper understanding of technology, engineering, and innovation through engaging hands-on experiences.
