Aerial Drone Competition


Practice, Explore, and Learn with Our Classroom Drone Element Set – No Competition Required

Even if your school isn’t entering a drone competition this year, our Classroom Drone Element Set offers a powerful way to engage students in hands-on STEM learning through drone flight, design, and challenge-based practice.

This set allows students to develop essential skills, such as teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving, while building confidence in drone operation and basic flight principles. Designed for classroom use, the set includes the same elements used in official competitions—giving students a chance to train, experiment, and improve at their own pace.

Why Use the Element Set Without Competing?

  • Prepare for Future Competitions: Practice flying and maneuvering in a structured environment using authentic competition-style elements.
  • Enhance STEM Learning: Incorporate drone-based activities into science, technology, engineering, or math lessons—even without the pressure of a competition.
  • Build Foundational Skills: Give students early exposure to drone technology, safety practices, and piloting skills.
  • Flexible Use: Ideal for clubs, enrichment programs, or classroom activities focused on exploration, innovation, and fun.
  • Encourage Creativity: Without competition constraints, students have the freedom to invent their own challenges, flight paths, or drone missions.

Using the drone element set for practice is a smart way to keep students engaged, inspired, and ready—whether for future competitions or simply to foster a deeper interest in STEM and emerging technologies.


Aerial Drone Competition, presented by the REC Foundation offers an exciting educational drone sporting event that focuses on hands-on, student-centered learning. Teams learn about drones, flight principles, programming and communication skills while expanding their understanding and building interest for Drone-related workforce and career opportunities.
