UAS4STEM is a drone engineering challenge like no other. Students work in a team to build, program, and fly a drone. It’s a competition for everyone, with both beginner and advanced divisions, that allows you to participate from anywhere in the world!

Now is the time to gather your team to prepare for next season’s competition! Top-scoring teams from the virtual preliminary competition (held the last two weeks of April) will be invited to the in-person championship competition at EAA’s AirVenture at the end of July.

Registration for the 2026 season opens September 1, 2025.
