The program offers a unique hands-on drone experience, combining flight, coding, and problem-solving in a safe and structured environment.
The PWCPS Discovery Enrichment Program: Launching Thriving Futures introduces students to Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways, focusing on hands-on experiences in engineering, robotics, aviation, and computer science. Students will engage in activities such as learning to manually fly drones, practicing control and precision maneuvers, and understanding essential safety procedures. The program progresses to programmed flight using beginner-friendly coding tools, where campers write and debug code, navigate drones through challenges, and collaborate to solve problems. This beginner-friendly opportunity aims to build confidence in computational thinking and troubleshooting, helping students discover how technology and coding can be used for creation, design, and innovation. The program emphasizes real-world skills and problem-solving abilities, preparing students for high-demand careers.
A typical day involves hands-on drone flying, learning coding fundamentals, practicing precision maneuvers, and collaborating with peers to troubleshoot and solve challenges.
This program is best for curious students in grades 5-7 who are interested in technology, coding, and aviation, and want to build confidence in computational thinking.
