The MINDS-i Commercial Drones Competition Kit is designed to introduce students to drone building, programming, and flight through hands-on, competition-ready learning. Built for small groups of 2–3 students, each kit supports skill development in UAV construction, setup, tuning, and operation while encouraging teamwork and problem-solving.
This kit helps students explore real-world unmanned aerial vehicle applications while preparing for classroom, community, statewide, and national drone competitions. With a UAV frame, replacement parts, flight electronics, and support tools, students can quickly get started and continue refining their design for different challenges.
Call to Action: Contact Tech-Labs to learn how the MINDS-i Commercial Drones Competition Kit can support your STEM, drone, or competition-based learning program.
Drone competitions create an exciting way for students to apply STEM concepts through design, testing, troubleshooting, and flight performance. Learners gain experience with UAV systems while building confidence in both technical and collaborative skills.
The MINDS-i UAV Competition Kit immerses students in STEM by challenging them to design and operate multirotor drones. The kit introduces students to drone building and programming with a focus on classroom, community, statewide, and national competitions.
It includes a UAV frame, replacement parts, and a library of sample programs to help students get started quickly while also leaving room for customization and tuning.
Flight Controller Includes: 3-axis gyro, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis compass, barometer, and 2 batteries.
Each kit is designed to support a small group of students (2–3) participating in various drone competitions.
MINDS-i competitions merge classroom learning with real-world experience. Students develop the practical skills necessary to pilot a UAV while gaining a better understanding of how the drone operates across systems, components, and flight conditions.
This kit is designed for small-group learning and competition participation, making it a strong fit for classroom labs, STEM clubs, makerspaces, and drone competition teams. Students can build, test, modify, and improve their designs as they work toward performance goals and flight challenges.
Component colors and models may vary.
