Drone and Rover Academies

About: 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.
Address: 1006 19th St. South, Birmingham.
