Design. Build. Fly. Learn.
With the Drone Maker Kit, you are given a system for designing, building, and flying your own drone! This kit is customizable and enables students to work through the engineering design process to iterate their own drone design. With the included engineer-focused curriculum, students work through activities to design and test their drone, carry a payload, and design and implement a delivery system, with each activity tying back to a specific career connection. Depending on the time you have available, you can compare different drone system configurations to see how well each solution meets the parameters of a set problem.
This kit brings the ultimate level of engagement while also teaching the basics of engineering and aviation through drone flight. The sky is no longer the limit with drone technology!
Student-Built Drone
Every drone is designed and assembled by the student—no prebuilt shortcuts.
Real Flight Testing
Students test configurations through actual flight, observing lift, load, and stability firsthand.
Iterative Design Process
Build, test, evaluate, and improve—reinforcing engineering thinking through every modification.
Customizable Configurations
Multiple body tube layouts and propeller setups let students experiment with structural variables.
What Students Can Do
With the Drone Maker Kit, students work through authentic engineering challenges:
- Design and assemble custom drone configurations
- Test flight performance with different structural setups
- Evaluate lift, load, and stability through real flight data
- Modify and improve designs through iterative testing
- Carry and deliver payloads using student-engineered systems
- Compare configuration performance against set criteria
