Spring Tech Flight Course Announcements
Curriculum December 8, 2025
CORE Academy is excited to launch Tech Flight, an integrated course designed to give students a complete, hands-on experience in both digital and physical technology systems.
What is Tech Flight?
This unique course combines Computer Operations & Programming with Drone Operations & Maintenance. Students learn key skills in Python, like coding, data analysis and hardware management, then apply these principles to unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Through project-based learning, students gain hands-on experience in drone assembly, maintenance and repair, and develop applications that support drone flight planning and data collection.
Tech Flight will run Monday-Thursday from 8:00–9:30 am. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain the technical skills needed to operate, support and innovate within modern drone systems!
