This camp explores a wide variety of subjects through the lens of understanding a particularly useful, popular, and fun technology. Kids will start by learning how unmanned aerial vehicles—drones—are used for a wide variety of purposes, including scientific endeavors, business, and even therapy. They will learn about the basic parts of a drone, learning about its mechanics and engineering. Interacting with real drones, kids will then learn the basic principles of aerodynamics. Students will then explore other types of unmanned vehicles, including submersibles, and consider legal and ethical questions around this type of technology. Finally, students will apply what they’ve learned and think about how they would use aerial unmanned vehicles! Students will gain skills in all four STEM areas: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. *This camp is held indoors and outdoors. Camp Instructor: Louie Floresca
