The camp offers a hands-on, project-based approach where students directly program and fly drones, making abstract STEAM concepts tangible and engaging.
Students in the Drone Discovery camp will explore drone technology through hands-on learning, building, and programming. The curriculum introduces drone safety and basic flight rules, allowing students to practice essential maneuvers like hovering, takeoff, landing, and controlled turns. Campers will navigate obstacle courses and engage in skill-building challenges, with opportunities for indoor flight. Returning students can pursue advanced flight skills through repeater paths. All necessary drones and equipment are provided. The program emphasizes developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills through engaging, hands-on activities. Students will learn about aerodynamics, programming, and teamwork, transforming abstract concepts into experiential learning by programming drones and observing their real-time responses. The camp aims to spark curiosity and motivation, encouraging students to ask questions, explore, and iterate in a supportive environment.
A typical day involves a warm-up activity, a main project or flight lesson focusing on drone safety, flight rules, and programming, followed by cleanup and a wrap-up session.
This camp is best for curious, creative young minds in grades 2-5 who love to build, tinker, and explore, and are interested in technology, engineering, and aviation.
