Workshop Description

The Drone Race trains participants to program a drone for complex, unassisted operation, as well as building their skills in solving logistical tasks entirely through code. Participants will be tested on their coding abilities to make the drone navigate through obstacles automatically. This is followed by a test of their programming of a robotic hand to place items into a designated box, as well as their implementation of control algorithms to precisely land the drone on specified target areas. Each participant will receive a complementary training session (30 minutes) in the morning before the competition that will occur in the afternoon. Participants are limited to one training category to ensure more students can benefit from this STEM exposure opportunity. Slots are limited. Registration is only confirmed upon successful payment and submission of the payment receipt. For the workshop, participants may choose only one category per session. For Drone Race: 1. This challenge uses AI-powered drones, so coding is required. 2. Participants will receive hands-on guidance and instruction during the workshop. 3. Team Formation: 1-2 participants per team.
