Drone Competition Program
A comprehensive drone competition program designed to challenge and evaluate pilots through real-world aviation skills, technical knowledge, teamwork, and mission performance.
Originally developed around the successful SkillsUSA competition model, this program can be customized for schools, camps, STEM organizations, youth groups, colleges, and community programs. Competitions may be scaled for beginners or advanced pilots and can be tailored to meet the goals of each organization.

The program encourages critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, and technical excellence while providing an exciting and competitive environment that keeps students engaged and motivated to learn.
