Drone Business Plan

This 17-page report, published by Northland Community and Technical College, provides an overview of The Northland Drone Business Plan Competition (BPC), an entrepreneurship bootcamp focused on generating interest among traditionally underrepresented communities in the emerging drone industry ecosystem. The bootcamp was a part of the National Center for Autonomous Technologies' 2022 Experience STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) event and lasted three days with a cohort of 12 students. The report provides a schedule of each day of the bootcamp and walks through student activities in narrative form, highlighting points where the event was successful. Also included in the report are marketing and outreach techniques for the program, lessons learned for future planning, and past examples of similar bootcamps, which helped inform the BPC's development.
