The  Scio Flyers are committed to fostering a collaborative learning environment where students can thrive and have entered this year's competition and are actively preparing for the 2026 UAS4STEM Drone Engineering Challenge. 

We welcome students, age 11 to 19, of all experience levels to join our team. Whether you’re a seasoned coder or new to the world of drones, the  program is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience, develop new skills, and make lasting friendships. Our current team consists of a handful of our younger members and we are fortunate to have also recruited a few local high school students. This combination provides a nice mix of hands-on aviation experience and high school-level science education.  

Program Costs and Fundraising

The program cost of approximately $5,000 per team covers registration and drone kit. There is no cost to join the team, but team members are expected to help raise funds.  More information and how to donate.
