A student-designed drone retrieves a load of cargo on the final day of Drone Academy 2023.

The School of Engineering will host a series of week-long summer camps in June and July 2024. The camps will offer high-school students opportunities to get hands-on experience designing, building and programming drones and remote-controlled “Rover” vehicles.

 

When:

Drone Academy (Computer-aided design and 3D printing):

  • June 3-7
  • June 10-14
  • June 24-28

Rover Academy (more advanced building & programming, intended as a ‘sequel’ to Drone Academy)

  • July 8-12
  • July 15-19

 

Cost

 The suggested cost for each one-week camp is a $100 donation per student. Payment is voluntary, however, and no student will be excluded if cost is a limiting factor.

 

How to Apply

There is a limited number of seats for each week of camp. Students who are interested in attending should submit a complete application by filling out the form at the link below before the deadline of May 15, 2024.
