The REC Foundation Aerial Drone Competition prepares our youth for these vocations now and in the future by strengthening skills they will rely on, both in the field and around the workplace. Through its uniquely engaging combination of teamwork and problem-solving, the competition challenges students to execute a problem-solving process that resembles the same mindset used by professionals in nearly every industry across the globe.

During an Aerial Drone Competition, students complete four missions: Teamwork, Piloting Skills , Autonomous Flight, and Communications. Through these missions, students discover opportunities to approach and solve new challenges with confidence.
