In the Game of Drones, you win when you fly! Drones are currently used in a large variety of industries as well as for recreational purposes. From inspecting wind turbines or agricultural crops to Defence Force racing teams, there are many careers on offer for drone pilots.

Game of Drones gives students hands on experience learning to code, test and fly drones whilst discussing what the future of drones may look like. As sessions include wiring a model drone to an Arduino, testing a custom made rig with a focus on writing, editing and testing flight code, the program lends itself to students currently studying subjects such as Systems Engineering who will have a basic understanding of electrical circuits. The day culminates in a “Top Gun” flying challenge to see who can earn their “wings”.
