Design. Build. Fly.

In this hands-on two-day workshop, students aged 10–14 will design, build, and fly their own camera drones, which they get to bring home.

They’ll learn engineering design using Onshape CAD software, assemble real flight electronics, and explore how to optimize drone body shapes for stability and performance.
