Drone Flying for Fun

This beginner class will introduce you to the safe and responsible way to pilot a drone for fun and amateur photography. No prior experience is necessary. Two-person teams are encouraged and receive a discount – a great class for a parent and child!

Discover Drones: For Teens

This 20-hour class is for students in grades 7—12. Fee includes access to our Flight Simulator lab, a Droneology subscription, and hands-on learning using the Discover Drones curriculum. Students will build and fly a high-performance RubIQ racing drone.

Due to the uncertainty of when we will be able to get together again, South Hills has decided to cancel this summer’s Discover Drones: Learn to Fly Summer Camps for Teens. Your monies will be refunded shortly. However, as soon as it is safe and we are able to reschedule these classes, you will be the first to know!
