MO - CCLS Charge the Sky

We welcome you to CCLS Charge the Skies, taking place on Saturday, Feb 27, 2027 at Christ Community Lutheran School Gym.

We are excited to host our second annual Chargers Drone Competition in the St. Louis area. This event marks a meaningful step for CCLS as we bring together students, schools, and the broader community to celebrate innovation, problem-solving, and teamwork. We look forward to growing this competition in the years to come and establishing it as a signature event for student learning and collaboration in our region.
