Ages: Rising 6th-9th graders
Cost: $1,575
What does it take to be an aeronautical explorer? In this course, students will learn how to rise off the Earth and fly through the sky while gaining an understanding of the principles of lift, thrust, and control. In this fast-paced flight program, they will learn how to build, fly and race quadcopters. A drone project will provide them with firsthand experience in building and flying their own aerodynamic objects. Before they take to the skies, they will have hands-on engineering experience learning about the drone’s assembly, best practices on replacing parts, and the how to care for the drone in flight and storage. Focus is on teaching students how to pilot drones, FAA regulations, and culminate in a variety of races and flying challenges.
