Drones4STEM
We facilitate and conduct hands-on
drone technology school workshops and
holiday camps for Grades 3 to 11. The
programs are designed to stimulate the
interest of maths and science in students
through building, coding and flying
drones.
We teach pupils on the basics of building
a drone from scratch, coding and the
requisite skills for piloting and landing an
unmanned aerial vehicle in their
respective schools. Our program
provides skills useful for future
employment or business creation. We
practically and theoretically prepare
pupils for aviation, aerospace, robotics,
artificial intelligence and aeronautics
careers through unmanned autonomous
vehicles.
