This exciting combination of aerial acrobatics with an engineering design challenge will teach students STEM concepts, teamwork and how to skillfully fly a drone. Students will be guided in how to construct launchers to maximize projectile speed and accuracy as their team builds robotic launchers designed to fling projectiles at their opponents’ drones.

The best drone pilots and launchers will emerge victorious!
