Meeting details
A shared curiosity. A higher perspective.

MORE THAN A DRONE.
A WAY TO LEARN.

What makes a quadcopter lift off? How do its parts work together? And what could you do differently?

Carlmont Drone Club starts with questions like these. We bring students together to understand the technology, explore the hobby, and make thoughtful decisions before every flight.

The mindset behind the machines

ASK. EXPLORE.
FIGURE IT OUT.
TOGETHER.

You don't have to arrive with all the answers. The best place to start is a question—and a group of people willing to help you work through it.

  1. 01 Understand the parts before the possibilities.
  2. 02 Share what you learn with the next person.
  3. 03 Put responsibility into every decision.
