Aerospace Robotics Competition

Each school year, STEM-ED, Inc. runs the Aerospace Robotics Competition (ARC) in regions across the United States.

The rulebook is released in August each year.

Teams are made up of 3-5 students. They are tasked with building and learning to code a drone.

Students complete benchmarks throughout the fall and winter.

In the spring, each region hosts a competition where the teams compete in four areas: autonomous flight, semi-autonomous flight, a technical presentation and an ethical component.
