Workshop overview
From first principles to a quadcopter in the air.
This two-day workshop introduces the fundamentals of drone technology with a focus on quadcopter systems. It combines theoretical concepts, hands-on assembly, flight-controller configuration using Mission Planner, and a live flight demonstration — giving participants practical exposure to drone design and operation.
Build · Configure · Fly
One complete quadcopter lifecycle
Two-day curriculum
Ten sessions, theory to live flight.
Day one builds understanding and a physical airframe; day two brings it to life through configuration, calibration and a supervised flight demonstration.
Hands-on, not slideware
You don't just learn about drones — you build one.
Every concept introduced on the whiteboard is reinforced at the bench. Participants work with production-grade components and the same ArduPilot toolchain used in the field.
Learning outcomes
What participants take away.
On completion of the workshop, every participant will be able to:
Understand the fundamental principles governing drone flight.
Identify and explain the role of major quadcopter components.
Gain practical exposure to drone assembly and integration.
Configure and calibrate a flight controller using Mission Planner.
Understand basic drone safety and operational procedures.
Observe and participate in live drone flight demonstrations.
