Whether you see them or not, drones are part of everything we do today. This course explores a wide variety of subjects through the lens of understanding and developing a particularly useful, popular, and fun technology. Students will start by learning the uses of unmanned aerial vehicles —drones— for a wide variety of purposes, including scientific endeavors, business, and photography or as a hobby. This camp dives into the basic parts of a drone, the mechanics and engineering of a drone, basic aerodynamics of flying drones and their comparison to other flying organisms, such as bats, birds or even dinosaurs. ASU-Beebe, in partnership with local pilots, is excited to provide campers a stimulating class in drone technology. No previous experience required; drones provided. Recommended for 4th – 8th grade.

Campers will learn to design and create something as simple as a shield or as complex as an action figure character! Your imagination will come to life right in front of you (and you can take it home, too!). Join this camp and get ready to design to your heart’s content! No previous experience required; 3D materials provided. Recommended for 6th – 9th grade.
