✈️ Drone Pilot for a Day: Aeronautics & Drone Flying Adventure
An experience by: TekIntellect for Kids
About this experience
Get hands-on with the science of flight — then take to the skies with real drones!
In this exhilarating at-home STEM experience, kids (and curious adults!) will dive into the exciting world of aeronautics. First, our expert instructor will guide you through the principles of flight — from Bernoulli's principle to thrust, drag, lift, and gravity — with interactive activities and real-world examples. Then, you'll put theory into action by building, navigating, and flying drones right from your backyard, park, or indoor open space.
Whether you're dreaming of becoming a future pilot or just love tech and engineering, this experience blends education with adrenaline in a way that sticks.

About your Hexpert
Founded in 2012, TEKintellect brings dynamic, in‑person STEM programming directly to homes, schools, camps, and events.
Rooted in LEGO® Technic®, Scratch coding, and aerial drone explorations, we blend Common Core–aligned science instruction with immersive, multi‑sensory learning environments that spark creativity and teamwork.
Approach & Programs
Whether building cranes, windmills, or dune buggies from scratch, students don’t just learn—they build, experiment, code, and play. Sessions include structured science lessons followed by hands‑on model creation using LEGO® and coding platforms for real‑world engineering applications.
Team & Operations
The team of 5 certified instructors delivers tailored STEM sessions to students across New York City, maintaining small group sizes for engagement and individual attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
[{"question":"How many drones do you bring to a course?","answer":"We bring 1 drone that the children take turns on. The rest of the group is focused on a LEGO setup that we create for them to free build with each child getting 10-15 minutes of instructed play time."}]
