DIY Drone Build
Program Details
Participants will build, customize, and fly two real drones in this exciting hands-on STEM workshop. Participants begin with a beginner-friendly drone build, learning the fundamentals of assembly and piloting. Once those skills are mastered, they level up to a more advanced intermediate drone, which will be used in the official EHTPAL Drone Zone Obstacle Course Event. At the conclusion of the program, students will put their skills to the ultimate test in the EHTPAL Drone Zone Obstacle Course Event, competing for speed, control, and precision. Best of all—both drones go home with each participant!
