Empowering the next generation of pilots, engineers, and innovators through safe, hands-on micro-drone education and free printable STEM coloring books across San Francisco.
Osito Drone Academy brings the thrill of First-Person View (FPV) flight directly to your community. Using portable, modular pop-up tents equipped with professional floor-to-ceiling safety netting, we turn local community centers, maker spaces, and partner venues into secure, high-energy drone labs.
No permanent facilities. No overhead. Just pure, immersive learning brought right to your neighborhood.
Instead of taking on the high overhead of a permanent retail lease, Osito Drone Academy utilizes agile, modular pop-up tents equipped with floor-to-ceiling safety netting to transform rented community spaces and partner venues into secure, high-tech indoor drone flight labs.
BOOK POP-UPStudents don't just fly-they learn the foundational technology behind modern unmanned aerial systems:
Understand lightweight drone components, 3D-printed ducted frames, brushed/brushless propulsion, and safe 1S battery management.
Learn essential flight controller settings using Betaflight, gyroscope PID stabilization, and low-latency control protocols like ExpressLRS.
Master stick control and spatial awareness in our 4-Tablet Simulator Pod before taking the controls inside our netted pop-up flight tracks.
Safety is our top priority for every school, camp, and pop-up event:
Are you a community center, school, maker space, or venue looking to host an unforgettable youth STEM experience?
