Take to the skies with mini drones! Housing a thrilling, hands-on aerial robotics platform, this 12-day camp is the perfect introduction to the world of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this indoor camp, safety is a priority as students learn to fly in first-person view (FPV), exploring the real-world applications of drones. In Ready, Set, Drone! Camp students go through Droneology, the online drone education platform, master basic piloting skills, construct an obstacle course to fly through and stage a final race to showcase their cumulative knowledge. Putting critical thinking to the test, the camp also has students brainstorm ways drones could be used for good, sketching out their ideas for new and innovative drones and drone uses.
Tech requirements:
Droneology Ed App: One device per student (digital curriculum is compatible with Internet-connected Macs, PC’s, iPads, Android tablets and Chromebooks.)
Tello Quadcopters: One smartphone or tablet required per drone as a radio controller (requires Android 4.4.0 or later, iOS 9.0 or later; not compatible with FireOS, Amazon's tablet operating system)
Grades: 4-8
Students: Up to 30
Contact Hours: 12+
Recommended Settings:
- Summer camps
- Classrooms looking for hands-on STEM activities
- After-school programs
- Homeschool environments
Ready, Set, Drone! Camp comes with an Instructor Guide, a digital curriculum download and all the supplies needed for 12 days of activities:
