The Raytheon Quadcopter Challenge is a national STEM competition that invites students to design, build, programme, and fly their own quadcopter. Each team must also deliver a technical presentation explaining their engineering process, and how their quadcopter was modified to provide support for a local hero. Our team designed their drone to support search and rescue teams, adding a thermal imaging camera, yellow and red theming, and white LEDs. They developed their use of CAD/CAM to design and manufacture additional parts, such as new arms and legs. The competition brings together the best young engineers in the country and encourages creativity, teamwork, and resilience.
