Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators
A hands-on drone and robotics program where students build, code, and fly—while gaining real STEM skills.
What We Provide
We provide everything schools need to bring real STEM learning to life:
Drone Kit
Sustainable, durable, multi-year technology that's student-friendly and easy to build.
Curriculum
Standards-aligned, core content integration with step-by-step lessons, coding challenges, and flight missions.
Training
Live and virtual training and support for instructors, plus real-time help via Discord and live mentor access.
UMD Engineering Mentors
Near-peer instructors who inspire and guide students throughout their learning journey.
Flexible Delivery
Co-taught or teacher-led, in-class or after-school options to fit your school's specific needs.
What Makes Us Different
Engagement That Lasts
Students don't stop learning after the build. Our curriculum keeps them engaged with structured lessons, hands-on missions, and coding challenges that grow over time.
We Don't Skip the Hard Stuff
Our drone kits are age-appropriate, durable, and classroom-tested. Students build working drones and gain real engineering experience—while still meeting grade-level expectations.
Real Mentors, Real Role Models
University of Maryland engineering students mentor younger learners, creating a strong near-peer dynamic that improves engagement, confidence, and STEM identity.
Math and Science—Applied, Not Memorized
We use drones to make abstract concepts real. Students apply math, physics, and logic to fly more efficiently, code smarter, and solve real-world problems.
Smart, Grade-Tailored Curriculum
Our program adapts to different age groups with appropriate challenges:
What Students Take Away
By the end of the program, students develop these critical skills:
Understand how systems work and how to solve problems with code
Apply math and science through real-world drone challenges
Learn to build, test, and debug functional robotics projects
Strengthen teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills
Gain confidence in their ability to succeed in STEM—now and in the future
