The Genius Workshop | Drone Code Quest

Ages 7 - 12

"My fascination with flight and aerial devices began when I was young, and eventually led me to build a company that transformed the drone industry worldwide. It’s not just about making flying machines — it’s about opening up possibilities to change the world."

- Frank Wang

CEO and Founder of DJI

This program introduces students to the exciting world of drones, teaching them not only how to code and fly drones but also the engineering principles and aviation science that make them possible. As drones continue to transform industries from logistics to agriculture, security to filmmaking, this program equips students with the knowledge and skills to understand their role in the future economy.

Through hands-on practice, students will master both manual remote-control flying and automated code-based flying, comparing the strengths of each approach. With interactive obstacle courses, coding challenges, and friendly competitions, students will build confidence while applying STEM knowledge in a dynamic and engaging way.

Students who excel in Drone Code Quest may be invited to join the TGW Drone Team, where they will receive specialized training and represent The Genius Workshop in local and international drone competitions.
