Royal Robotics Intro to Drones
Event description
Join Jameson from Royal Robotics to take flight and explore the fascinating world of drones! In this engaging workshop, participants will dive into the exciting realm of drone technology. Throughout the course, we will not only master the art of drone piloting but also harness the power of the Scratch programming language to tackle fun challenges inspired by real-world scenarios such as farming and rescue missions.
Participants will learn the fundamentals of drone operation, emphasising safety protocols and best practices. Additionally, this course offers a unique opportunity to develop basic programming skills through hands-on experimentation with Scratch.
By the end of the workshop, you'll emerge with newfound confidence in piloting drones and a solid foundation in programming, ready to explore how you could use a drone in your day to day life. Come soar with us and unlock the endless possibilities of drones!
Disclaimer:
This is a beginner to intermediate skill level course, however, all skill levels are welcome to attend. No prior experience is needed! This course is best suited to participants aged 8 and onwards.
Workshop Dates:
Our workshops will be from 9:00am - 1:00 pm at the Peregian Digital Hub, on the 11th and 12th of April.

Please register for one workshop only. If you are interested in participating in both, contact Jameson to be put on a waiting list in the event of spare tickets/cancellations.
What to Expect:
1. Those participating in our workshop will be taught beginner programming skills for the DJI Tello Talent Drone which will be used to complete fun challenges.
2. We will learn how to problem solve and work with each other to achieve the best outcome for you and your group.
3. Together, we will learn, have fun, make friends, and have a good time!
