Students in our Aerospace and Flight Technology programs learn to think outside the box. Real-world STEAM experiences with drones, flight simulators, and Mars rover design kits immerse young learners in the exciting worlds of flight, aerodynamics, and space exploration.
Programming a drone to follow a path or designing a vehicle that can drive on Mars helps students learn how to think critically, how to be aware of their surroundings, and how to solve problems creatively. These activities help to get kids interested, while preparing them for future jobs in science, technology, engineering, and space.
Real-Life Examples of Programs That Make a Difference
Creative Hut's branded learning vans provide mobile flight workshops to schools. The program is a great way to reach out to underrepresented communities.
Mars Rover Challenge Days are when students work together to come up with, build, and test their own robotic space vehicles.
Drone Coding Labs that show kids how to use Blockly and Python to program real drones that are used for scientific and environmental missions.
“Running the Aerospace & Flight Technology programme was genuinely transformative. Watching students code drones, build Mars rovers, and pilot flight simulators brought STEAM learning to life in a way textbooks simply can’t. It’s hands-on experiences like these that inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, and explorers.”
