Sky Coders
Look up every time something flies overhead?
Does your camper…
Love figuring out how things work?
Want to be the pilot, not just the passenger?
What they’ll build
Brand new this summer! In Sky Coders, campers step into the world of drone engineering. They start by learning what makes things fly: the four forces of flight, how propellers push air, and why balance matters. Through hands-on experiments like spinner drops, paper airplane tests, and wiring their own motor circuits, campers discover the science behind every flight. Then it’s time to take the controls! Campers pilot drones in a dedicated flight zone, mastering takeoffs, hovers, and target landings. Finally, teams take on a mission: deliver a package, complete a search-and-rescue run, or conquer a hoop course. They design and build a custom drone attachment, then test it, fix it, and improve it before showing it off on Showcase Day. Safety comes first: campers fly prop-guarded drones, wear safety glasses, and staff handle all batteries.
