Up, up and away! Enjoy fun remote-control drones charged from solar power. Your student will build a solar powered charging station for their drone. When their drone runs out of juice, they can simply charge it anywhere outdoors with their solar charging station. When students are done building, they will challenge other students with their drone. In the end, students will take home a mini drone and their newly built charging station. Presented by GoSolar!
