Airgineers STEAM Challenge

Airgineers is a range of STEAM products that give secondary school students the chance to design, build and learn to fly a radio controlled quadcopter (also known as a drone). There is also a competitive element to Airgineers, as students can fly their micro-drones in team games, individual challenges and time trials.

Rotor RushRotor Rush

The Rotor Rush initiative links all the key elements of drone sports to promote a community in which all participants, regardless of their level, work together for the benefit of the whole sport.

From the young person who has learnt to fly drones at school through Rotor Rush Academy and now wants to join their local race organisation or chapter, to the professional pilot who wants to pass on their skills to others, to the pro-gamer competing in Rotor Rush Esports who wants to go on to race real drones at real events. By linking and supporting these key elements we create a stronger more unified sport for all to enjoy.
