Drone Camp
A comprehensive 7 day introduction to drone flying, programing, and ethics
Code, Fly, and Connect
The Saint Anselm Drone Camp provides high school students with the opportunity to learn programming using autonomous aerial vehicles (drones.) This six night camp on the Saint Anselm College campus provides students with an introduction to programming, aerial drone flying, and ethics.
The camp is designed to be accessible for any high school student who is interested in drone technology. We assume no programming experience on behalf of participants and welcome all skill levels.

Where will I stay during the camp?
While at the Saint Anselm Drone Camp, students will be housed on campus in the Saint Anselm College residence halls with two students per room; students may request to be partnered with their friends. Student dorms will be separated by gender and supervised.
Students will be provided three meals a day prepared by Saint Anselm College Food Services, which is ranked nationally for best campus food. All meals are served as an all- you-can-eat buffet which will vary over the course of the school; typical items include steak tips, pasta, and chicken parmesan. All dietary restrictions can be accommodated. Students may order additional meals to their dorm.
Why Python?
Python is a modern high-level programming language with a focus on ease of expression. While Python can be picked up quickly it also allows for a lot of potential complexity. Python is not just an academic curiosity or learning language though. Python is the primary language used in machine learning and AI today! Companies like Apple, Facebook, Nvidia, and Google all use Python for their AI projects.
Why Aerial Drones?
Flying is cool! Besides that, aerial drones are the future of autonomous robots. Many robotics competitions and camps focus on ground-based robots that maneuver around on wheels. We introduce students to the world of flying autonomous robots setting us apart from other robotics camps.
