This course is designed to prepare students for future careers in aerospace and technology. Participants will build foundational skills in CAD modeling, engineering design, and embedded systems. Through a series of guided projects, they will apply these concepts and learn how to connect mechanical design with coding, electronics, and AI. By the end of the program, participants will have a valuable addition to their resume that highlights their technical skills. The teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills they learn will be invaluable when starting their career.
The course will finish with a design challenge to build an object-tracking drone. Students will create their own designs and integrate electronics and sensors. They will work with code-repositories and learn how to use AI in conjunction with coding.
