Drone Technology and Engineering (DTE) offers students a basic overview of aerodynamics, unmanned aircraft architecture, and drone flight dynamics. Students apply their STEM knowledge by designing, building, and testing their racing drones in small teams, emulating an aerospace engineering program from beginning to end.

During this one-of-a-kind aerospace experience, students fly Line of Sight (LOS) and First Person View (FPV) on physical drones, build racing drones, and use structured engineering decision-making to optimize their design. Student teams gather data while testing their newly built drone and compete in challenges to achieve real-world objectives

I was inspired by the amount of growth I saw in each of the students, and I am confident that the skills these students learned will be valuable in their future education and careers.

In seven months, we've seen teachers transform into happy, confident and dedicated advocates for STEM in their classrooms.

Director of STEM, Norwalk Public Schools District

The experiences students gain after completing any one of Stemi and Milestone C courses, will not only prepare them for a future career in a STEM field but, more importantly, for life.
