Students gain practical experience with research-grade drones, not toys, and receive individualized attention with a low student-to-instructor ratio of 6:1 or less.
The Edge on Science Drone & Code camp offers a hands-on STEM experience where students learn to engineer, code, and fly drones. Participants explore drone sensors, electronic modules, and flight dynamics through practical testing, coding challenges, and troubleshooting. The curriculum is designed to advance knowledge regardless of prior coding experience, with options for beginners using block coding and simulators, and advanced students delving into Python, functions, arrays, loops, and object-oriented programming. Campers engage in daily coding and flight challenges, culminating in two coding projects (one drone-related, one non-drone-related) and an obstacle course demonstration on Friday. The program emphasizes critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving in a fun and engaging environment.
A typical day involves learning about drone sensors and electronic modules, line-of-sight flying to understand flight dynamics, and engaging in coding and flight challenges with hands-on testing and troubleshooting.
This camp is ideal for curious students eager to explore applied science and engineering through hands-on drone technology and coding, regardless of prior experience.
