The Program
Initiated by The Patuxent Partnership (TPP) through a STEM-for-All grant from the Office of Naval Research, the UAS / quadcopter initiative is designed to address the educational components and theories of UAS operations and flight. The program is open to all high school students/teams interested in learning about Unmanned Aerial Systems and developing skills associated with the building and flight of these systems. The program does not require specific equipment or UAVs. Teams may use existing equipment, purchase a system, or even challenge themselves and build their own UAS.
Training material and curriculum has been developed by Aviation Systems Engineering Company (ASEC) and are available to all teams (free of charge). Coaches and mentors will use the curriculum as a guide to developing a comprehensive program best suited for their team. Meeting frequency and duration will be up to the individual teams.
