Drone Camp
Manufacturing and Engineering Technology

St. Petersburg College’s Engineering, Manufacturing, and Building Arts department is pleased to announce an exciting STEM summer camp opportunity for students ages 13-19: drone camp.

Students attending SPC’s 2017 Titan Drone Summer Camp will:

  • Engage in 3D printing process using additive manufacturing techniques
  • Understand the electronics and precision needed for building drones
  • Learn entrepreneurial skills used by successful business owners
  • Tour an advanced manufacturing facility
Hands-on learning

“…when we give students the inspiration not just that math and science are inherently interesting, and technology and engineering are inherently interesting, but there’s actual problems to solve, it turns out that young people, they rise to the challenge. And that’s what’s so exciting about it.” – former President Barack Obama

Opportunities for affordable, quality summer STEM programs for teens are few and far between. SPC understands the importance of encouraging students in this rapidly advancing field. That is why we are committed to providing hands-on learning opportunities for students. To that end, we have planned another fun summer learning program.

Students will work directly with faculty and Engineering Department student assistants to build, fly, and repair a drone! They will get to keep the drone after the program and will have learned how to operate and if necessary repair it themselves.

Students will also go on a field trip to an advanced manufacturing facility to see for themselves real world applications of science, technology, engineering and math.
