Robotics Drone Workshop

Overview

3-3.5 Hours | All Ages | No Experience Needed

In the Robotics Workshop, students get a drone, but no controller!
Learn engineering by building your own RC controller for a quadrotor:

  • Wire a complete circuit, including a dual-core microcontroller with WiFi, 6-axis accelerometer, lights, potentiometers, and buttons.

  • With your team, learn how to read and translate circuit diagrams into real, working circuits

  • Program, upload, and execute your own autonomous flights

  • Participate in the autonomous airshow to showcase your custom flight
