Neurodiversity Works

🎉 We just wrapped up an incredible 2nd annual Neurodiversity Works Drone Summer Camp! Over the course of 2 days, our 20 enthusiastic campers dove into a rich blend of learning and fun. From safety moments and inclusion discussions to hands-on drone activities, the experience was packed with excitement and growth. Campers witnessed 6 thrilling flight demos and had flight time to test their skills. They participated in 8 engaging workshops, learning from 12 incredible companies that presented at the camp. The interactions between industry experts and our campers were truly inspiring, sparking many wonderful discussions and insightful questions. A highlight of the camp was seeing a returning camper from last year who has now completed our program and came back to present this year. This is a testament to the impact of our camp and the endless possibilities it offers. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making this camp a remarkable success. Together, we're creating a more inclusive and empowering future for all. 🌟 A special thank you to Colorado Gives Foundation who allows us the opportunity to host camp at their wonderful building.
