Learn to Code-A-Drone with MakoEducation Arts at MadFabLab
 

This workshop shows you the power of coding in a fun and creative environment. You’ll learn how to create your own drone controller by programming commands that enable a mini drone to take off, fly, turn, do stunts, take photos and land safely.

You will be provided with an iPad to build your coded controller and test your piloting skills, tackling our obstacle course with a mini drone to see who can score the most points.

We are offering two types of tickets for this workshop so please ensure you are purchasing correctly:

  • Code-A-Drone-Solo: Have a drone all to yourself and pilot it around our assault course!
  • Drone-With-A-Pal: If you’d like to bring a friend or sibling, you’ll be able to share the fun of flying and piloting your mini drone

Who is this course for?

No previous coding or drone flying experience is necessary.

Children must be accompanied by an adult (ticket not required).

Equipment you’ll need

All equipment will be provided on the day, you just need to bring yourself.

FAQs
I have accessibility needs, what kind of physical access do you have?

Unfortunately, the MadFabLab is on a first floor with no lift. We are actively pursuing leads on future space which will have improved access, but in the meantime please get in touch and we will work creatively to try and accommodate you.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The MadFabLab is next door to MadLab in the Northern Quarter (Manchester).

MadFabLab is less than 15 minutes walk away from both Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria train stations.
