Drone soccer is a thrilling indoor team sport played with radio-controlled quadcopter drones in protective shells designed for collisions. Five player teams face off in a netted arena where they ram and block the opposing team to prevent them from scoring while their striker drone simultaneously attempts to score. But before pilots can compete they must first build, program, fly, and learn to repair the high-performance drones that they will be piloting. Our class will include teaching engineering skills, aeronautical concepts, FAA regulations and practice flying skills. These and the life skills we focus on in all of our classes will provide a foundation for our students to consider careers in the robust drone pilot market as well as in general aviation careers.
