Clara Barton ADC Qualifier #1

We are excited to host our 2nd Aerial Drone Competition at the Clara Barton Elementary School! This competition will bring students, coaches, volunteers, and families together for an engaging competition.

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