What you’ll gain

  • Learn the foundations of responsible operation Explore basic drone operation, safety considerations, and the importance of understanding applicable rules. Connect these foundations with the logic used to direct movement and complete tasks. Practice thinking through what a system should do and why planning matters before putting an idea into practice safely.
  • Build a hands-on portfolio Develop projects that connect programming with drone behavior and task planning. Document your goals, code, observations, and improvements as you work toward a solution. Your portfolio shows how you approach challenges and gives you examples to discuss with educators, mentors, and others interested in your learning.
  • Strengthen problem solving and teamwork Break a challenge into steps, compare approaches, and learn from testing. Practice explaining your decisions and considering how a change affects the system. These experiences build persistence, critical thinking, and communication while helping you explore how aerial technology can contribute to community solutions.
  • Explore your education and career options Receive 1-on-1 career coaching to connect your interests with learning pathways related to drones, robotics, programming, and engineering. Identify strengths, set realistic goals, and practice presenting your portfolio. Develop an understanding of the skills you want to strengthen and steps that support your future ambitions.
