The camp focuses on teaching pre-flight discipline and the habit of not launching until every item is green, a skill transferable beyond drone operation.
Ellis Abel Learns - Drone Summer Camp offers a week-long immersive experience for campers aged 9-14. Participants delve into the exciting world of drones, learning not just how to fly them, but also the crucial pre-flight discipline involved. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills such as understanding airspace rules, performing pre-flight checklists, and calculating battery math. Campers will engage in hands-on activities, including their first hover and crash, programmed flight paths, and precision courses under time constraints. The program culminates in a showcase where students demonstrate their learned skills by flying a course and verbally calling out their checklist. This camp aims to instill a habit of thoroughness and problem-solving, transferable to many other areas of life, while fostering an understanding of drone technology and its applications.
A typical day involves learning pre-flight checklists and airspace rules, practicing their first hover and managing initial crashes, working on programmed flight paths, and navigating precision courses under time.
This camp is ideal for children aged 9-14 who are curious about drones and enjoy hands-on learning, problem-solving, and understanding how things work.
