21st Mind — Unlock Your Future Skills
Ages 10–16

Drones

Fly it. Program it. Build it.

Kids start by learning to fly, first by hand and then by programming drones to complete missions on their own. Building their own drone comes later, once they already know how to fly one.

Students in the 21st Mind Drones program
What They'll Learn

A real curriculum, not a worksheet.

1

Manual flight control

Kids learn to fly by hand first — hovering, turning, and precision maneuvers with a real controller.

2

Programming autonomous missions

Once they can fly, kids write simple flight scripts so a drone can complete a course or task on its own.

3

Building and tuning their own drone

Only after they can fly and program one do kids open it up — assembling, calibrating, and tuning a drone from parts.

By The End Of The Program

What your child will walk away with

Understands the mechanics behind how a drone actually flies

Recovers from a crash by diagnosing and fixing the problem

Ready to compete in timed, precision-based challenges
