Feriencamp mit Übernachtung (Einsteiger)

Your introduction to the world of drones with coding and drone racing

The DroneMasters Academy summer camp offers a five-day program on the topics of drones, digitization and aerodynamics, including four overnight stays. Children and teenagers between the ages of 10 and 15 learn how to operate various age-appropriate drone systems during the summer camp. Under the guidance of experienced trainers and coaches, they will learn how to fly on sight and with video goggles, how to program drones and how to handle them safely. For several days, there is an intensive exchange about new technologies and their possibilities, supplemented by sports activities and evenings around the campfire.

Since 2017, the DroneMasters Academy has been providing children and young people with access to a pioneering technology. In the process, the drones offer a unique introduction to other topics such as 3D printing and programming, providing insights into new technical career fields.

The DroneMasters Academy summer camp aims to get children and young people excited about drone technology. They are familiarized with the basic physics of flying, learn about the construction and technology of drones and fly their own final race. In all areas, the juniors are encouraged to contribute their own ideas and solutions. We place special emphasis on developing technical skills and understanding how to build simple electronic circuits. During the summer camp, we cover several important learning areas of mathematics, computer science, science and technology (STEM). This knowledge is taught in a fun and age-appropriate way.

 

The vacation program lasts five days with four overnight stays. Arrival is on Mondays between 09:00 and 10:00. On the last day, the participants can be picked up from 16:00.

Meals:
During the summer camp, the participants receive a full board with breakfast buffet, warm lunch and cold evening buffet. In addition, drinks and fruit will be available during the day. On one evening we will also have a barbecue. Special eating habits of the participants will be asked for directly after arrival. If your child has any allergies, please let us know in advance by e-mail.

Accommodation:
The participants will be accommodated on the premises. You will need to bring bedding or a sleeping bag for the night. You should also bring sports and swimming clothes. Basically, the children will spend a lot of time outdoors, which is why appropriate clothing should be worn.

Day 1 - Let's go

The DroneMasters Academy summer camp begins with a relaxed introduction to the world of drones. Your Academy instructors will give you an overview of aerodynamics and the components of rotor systems. Then, you'll examine the structure and electronics of drones and learn about the legal and safety basics of aviation. At the end of the first day, you will fly your first test flight on sight.

Day 2 - Take Off

More basics, more flying. In addition, you will be familiarized with the programming of drones. To quickly gain flight experience, you will be intensively supported by the Academy trainers and can train on the flight simulator.

Day 3 - Try out

Everyone discovers their own preferences in dealing with drones. Be it flying on sight, on the simulator or block-based programming. Those who already have the drones well under control can put on video goggles and fly with first-person view.

Day 4 - Training

It' s all about training. In preparation for the final course the next day, you will train intensively with the drone and on the simulator. Your Academy trainers are close by and will support you with tips and tricks about drone flying.

Day 5 - Final course

Today it's going to be racy. You can show everyone the flying skills you've acquired during the week! But first, you'll get a quick introduction to the basic rules and behavior of drone flying. When flying through the final course, all your skills will be required. Finally, everyone will be awarded for their achievements with the official DroneMasters Academy certificate.

The program is intended to provide an exemplary flow of the course. Depending on the weather and the interests and progress of the participants, the focus on specific content may vary.
