In this Drone Camp, the focus will be on UAS concepts that combine classroom learning with hands-on experience. The classroom instruction will focus on the safety of use (FAA’s Know Before You Fly Initiative) and scientific principles of flight as well as flying a state of the art flight simulator. Students will assemble a quadcopter and learn the science of aerodynamics and radio controlled vehicles. The camp will close on Thursday with a capstone event where the students will fly their drone through an obstacle course. The camp has been designed to excite students’ interest in STEM, focusing on aviation and the high-growth field of unmanned aerial systems, and will introduce students to the local employment opportunities in UAS and aviation fields. The activities in this program are designed to give students a competitive advantage to entering aviation fields by giving them a solid foundation of science, mathematics, and communication skills, and introducing them to cutting-edge aircraft technologies. Topics covered include: Safety of use UAS concepts Promotion of discovery Scientific principles of flight Development of problem-solving skills Classroom training with hands-on experience Introduction to cutting-edge aircraft technologies Science of aerodynamics & radio-controlled vehicles Solid foundation of science, mathematics, & communication skills Introduction to local employment opportunities in UAS & aviation fields Age Group: Grades 9th - 12th Max Class Size: 20 students
