Harmony CTX Aerial Drone Competition

We are excited to host the Aerial Drone Competition again for the 2026–2027 school year! Building on last year’s success, this competition will bring students, coaches, volunteers, and families together for an engaging celebration of STEM learning.

Participating teams will apply their knowledge of drone technology, engineering, coding, and flight operations as they complete challenging competition missions. Through teamwork, strategic planning, problem-solving, and effective communication, students will demonstrate both their technical abilities and essential leadership skills.

Our goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and well-organized event where students can compete, learn from one another, and celebrate their accomplishments. We look forward to welcoming teams back for another exciting day of innovation, collaboration, and high-flying competition!
