For over twenty years, Drobots Company Summer Camps has been offering creative summer camps to students nationwide and provides youth, pre-teen, and teen summer camps for grades 1st to 12th, as well as an Overnight Summer Academy for grades 7th to 12th. The program includes multiple options for boys and girls who want to explore science, technology, engineering, and math related projects in a setting described as fun, safe, positive, encouraging, and friendly, with flexible experiences that shift students between indoor activities and the outdoors and a focus on friendly competitive and gamified teaching and learning. Drobots Company was originally founded by a small group of parents, educators, visionaries, and do-it-yourself engineers and offers grant-funded summer programs, turnkey STEM, robotics, and drone programming for grant-funded solutions, and corporate programs, competitions, and events for kids and adults all year long. The organization states that its drone programs are the #1 drone camp in the country, that it is honored to be included in Forbes Magazine and The Wall Street Journal, and that it is fully accredited by STEM.org.

The mission of Drobots Company Summer Camps is to inspire students to reduce time in front of a computer screen and instead use drone technology in a setting that promotes collaborative project-based learning in a positive educational environment. The program states that safety is the #1 priority and that no drone experience or personal drone equipment is necessary. Drobots reports that it fosters the current technological landscape with a unique curriculum and well-trained, positively motivated, adult-led instructors who are selected through rigorous hiring standards and who have years of experience working with kids and teens. The program describes itself with phrases such as “Safe. Fun. Educational.”, “Positivity, Safety, and Fun Included,” “Where Technology Meets Fresh Air,” “The #1 STEM Summer Programs For Kids & Teens,” and “the #1 drone camp in the country.”

Parent and professional testimonials describe the program as having strong staff and a terrific program where a 9-year-old gained a sense of ownership and working knowledge of quadcopter technology, according to an MIT professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Another parent, a teacher, reports that her 13-year-old had “the time of his life,” that much of the program was outside, and that they now teach neighborhood kids how to race drones. A third parent, an entrepreneur, compares drones at Drobots to “the new Lego Robotics” and notes that teens in the family are using what they learned in the classroom. An engineer describes Drobots Drone Camp as the most exciting STEM program her children have been part of and highlights that the program combines creative and explorative activities with time spent outside and not behind a screen all day.
