Students will be immersed in the real world application of drone flight and drone technology through the use of drone simulator training, engineering, flight mechanics, and piloting.  Students will fly drones through the same software simulator used by the pros, and will get hands-on experience flying real drones in a competitive environment.  Drone cohorts will collaborate with each individual taking the role of pilot, mechanic, engineer, and designer. This is a valuable foundational course for students interested in pursuing their FAA 107 pilot’s license.
