Robotics and Drones
Design, program, and watch technology come to life.
Fairfax Collegiate’s robotics and drones courses immerse students in the world where engineering and programming meet. These fields combine technology with hands-on fun, as students learn to control and program machines that can tackle everything from soaring through the sky to interacting with the world around them.
Robotics courses include a wide variety of activities that cover everything from simple movements to advanced functions. Drones courses provide a hands-on experience with aerial technology, allowing students to explore flight dynamics and how drones are used in fields like photography, delivery services, and even search-and-rescue operations.Both technologies are a great way to spark creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking in curious children. Whether on the ground or in the air, these technologies give students an exciting glimpse into the future of engineering and technology.
