Thanks to a connection with former BCD parent, Rob Slonaker, BCD is pleased to announce a new STEM Drone summer camp program and partnership with Drobots Company. Drobots Company was originally founded by a small group of parents, educators, visionaries and do-it-yourself engineers. The mission was and still is to inspire students to reduce time in front of a computer screen and instead utilize drone technology in a setting that promotes collaborative project-based learning in a positive educational environment. Hence, the company trademark slogan, Where Technology Meets Fresh Air™.
Space is limited, and current BCD students will have the opportunity to enroll first before the program is marketed to the broader community in Berkshire and Columbia Counties.
DROBOTS SESSION 1 – Ultimate Drone Games: Speed, Skill & Acrobatics – July 10 to July 14
DROBOTS SESSION 2 – Drone Flying: Search & Rescue – July 17 to July 21
DROBOTS SESSION 3 – Drone Exploration: Fly, Create, Innovate – July 24 to July 28
About Drobots Company:
Drobots Company was originally founded by a small group of parents, educators, visionaries and do-it-yourself engineers. The mission was and still is to inspire students to reduce time in front of a computer screen and instead utilize drone technology in a setting that promotes collaborative project-based learning in a positive educational environment. Hence, the company trademark slogan, Where Technology Meets Fresh Air™.
The primary goal of any Drobots Company program is to mentor participants on how to become lifelong learners and instill a strong sense of curiosity, confidence, and teamwork. Due to the exponential growth of the drone industry, kids and teens may now explore, learn and evolve along with the applications of today and the discoveries of tomorrow. Drobots fosters this new technological landscape with a unique curriculum and well-trained positively motivated instructors.
At Drobots we create flexible experiences that shift students between the excitement and hands-on activities of our indoor activities and the freedom and exploration of the outdoors. Participants utilize imagination, hand-eye coordination, and STEM applications to conquer challenges and missions – all in a team-oriented environment. Under the umbrella of a friendly competitive and gamified teaching and learning methodology, participants collaborate in a team setting to deconstruct challenges and then solve them.
The core foundation of our company and the programming we work diligently to develop is built upon creativity, exploration, technology and fun. Our commitment and passion is derived from the unlimited positive applications of innovative technology. Throughout all of our kid’s camps, students thrive under the supervision of an adult-led staff committed to the development of the individual and team.
Safety is our #1 priority and our rigorous hiring standards attract the best instructors in the country. At Drobots Company we understand that instructors with years of experience working with kids and teens is the key difference between a good experience and a GREAT experience. Our family of instructors embodies the passion and creativity that we strive to inspire in every participant.
The schools that I spoke with provided glowing reports about the program and their experiences with Drobots. Many independent schools like BCD have hosted this exciting camp program. To see lists of other schools across the country that host Drobots camp programs, click HERE.
