[HOUSTON] – Harmony School of Excellence – Katy is holding its annual RADC Drone Competition on February 24, 2024. An exciting challenge presented in the form of a game, where students learn how drones work, how they are built and programmed. This year we are excited to host 34 teams from local ISD’s and many districts from out of state..
“The REC Foundation Aerial Drones Competition (RADC) offers an exciting educational drone sporting event focusing on hands-on, student-centered learning. RADC fosters students’ development through teamwork, critical thinking, project management, and communication skills required to prepare them to become the next generation of innovators and problem solvers,” according to the Robotics Education Competition Foundation.
The Robotics Education Competition Foundation also explains that: “RADC is an exciting challenge presented in the form of a game. Four Drones made up of two Alliances fly around the field to score as many points as possible.
The object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing alliance.” And adds that “Teams also compete in the Programming Skills Challenge where one drone takes to the sky to score as many points as possible.
Additionally, teams are judged on an engineering notebook that shows their understanding of the engineering design process.”
