🎉 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.

About us
Neurodiversity is another category of diversity. Organizations describe neurodiversity as a category of diversity, like race and gender, which seeks to embrace and maximize the talents of people who think differently. 15%-20% of the population is neurodiverse. We are passionate about preparing neurodiverse students for careers in the drone industry. We develop targeted technical training programs, foster relationships between students and industry mentors, and work with employers to advocate for neurodiverse hiring programs.
