Each team <em>must<\/em> have an adult team manager. Each team may also have an adult assistant manager as well, although this is optional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two classes in the UAS4STEM sponsored by Skydio: Beginner and Advanced. The Beginner Class was created to reduce the barriers of entry into the competition. The competition tends to get more complicated each year as returning teams are challenged in new ways and having this Beginner Class allows more focus on teaching the fundamental skills of drone programming and flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition season begins as soon as your team receives the rulebook and online sUAS Ground School log-in credentials for the competition. Ground School is a required component of the competition; each competitor must complete all lessons and assessments in the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All teams compete in the virtual preliminary competition. Teams must provide a proof-of-flight video submission, a virtual Flight Readiness Review (FRR) presentation, a 15-minute mission-planning software assessment, and a video for new UAS4STEM teams. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Following the virtual preliminaries, top-scoring teams are invited to the National Competition at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img alt='clip0091-mxf_-02_30_51_05-still001-1-1024x576-9036110-3437822-8508506-4176848-3477511-4538369' alt='clip0091-mxf_-02_30_51_05-still001-1-1024x576-9036110-3437822-8508506-4176848' alt='clip0091-mxf_-02_30_51_05-still001-1-1024x576-9036110-3437822' src='https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2016\/08\/Clip0091.MXF_.02_30_51_05.Still001-1-1024x576-9036110-3437822-8508506-4176848-3477511-4538369.jpg' class=\"wp-image-1243 size-full\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a highlight not only for the students and mentors, but for the staff and judges who work with the teams as they deliver their Flight Readiness Reviews and conduct flight operations during the worlds largest celebration of flight.
