Hands-on projects and engaging experiences using the VEX Robotics platform and Aerial Drone programs.

Robotics and Aerial Drone programming are gaining momentum in the educational arena worldwide. Our curriculum is extremely conducive to students with diverse learning styles by helping them explore math, science, and logic through hands-on activities with real-world connections. The course will help students develop critical thinking skills, engage with STEM concepts, and practice engineering design.

The Drone programming course will provide an opportunity to learn about the engineering principles, basic safety, and social responsibility of drone flying.

Course Goals:

• Design simple to complex builds with motors, gears, and sensors
• Apply the engineering design process to find solutions to the challenges
• Write, download, and execute programs using VEXcode
• Apply communication, creativity, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills
