Aerial Drone Mission 2025
The Aerial Drone Competition’s Mission 2025: Gravity from the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF) is leading the most comprehensive and exciting drone sporting initiative to promote hands-on, student-centered learning.
According to a drone market survey, the industry continues its upward trajectory, poised to reach more than $128 billion by 2030 due to growth at a fast pace, such as technological advancement and need across various industries. The Robotics Education & Competition Foundation is proud to receive support from esteemed organizations such as NASA, the Department of Defense (DoD) STEM, and Google.org, which supports the organization’s Indigenous Robotics initiative. The Aerial Drone Competition features the Robolink CoDrone EDU, a highly versatile and programmable drone tailored for educational use. These partnerships help provide students with invaluable real-world experience while offering a deeper insight into the vast array of career opportunities within the aerospace, technology, and robotics industries.
Up to 10,000 students in grades 5 through 12 will compete this season in local and national competitions in approximately 42 states across the US. These competitions are not just about showcasing flying skills but also about collaborative teamwork and problem-solving. Teams unite to complete four missions that test their creativity, technical acumen, and strategic thinking.
“The Aerial Drone Competition offers a dynamic, fun, and engaging STEM educational experience that prepares students with the skills they need to become tomorrow’s leading innovators for a variety of industries that require the many uses for drone expertise,” said Louann Cormier, Senior Program Manager of the Aerial Drone Competition.
