Integem Launches K-12 AI Space Drone Program--Build, Fly, Explore

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Integem is transforming STEM education with its AI Space Explorer Program, a hands-on learning experience where K-12 students build, code, and fly AI-powered drones and launch stratospheric space balloons reaching up to 100,000 feet—no prior experience needed.

Developed by leading AI researchers, engineers, and educators, the program brings aerospace and AI technology to life through interactive projects that teach students to design, build, and program autonomous drones. They will gain real-world engineering experience while tackling AI-driven navigation, stratospheric exploration, and drone applications in planetary research, environmental monitoring, and disaster response.

The program meets students at their level, whether they are beginners or experienced in STEM. Elementary students start by building and flying drones while learning basic coding, AI concepts, and aerodynamics. Middle and high school students advance into AI-driven drone navigation, autonomous flight, and stratospheric experiments, collecting real-world data from near space. They can also earn an NVIDIA AI certification, boosting college applications and future STEM career opportunities.

Students can join Integem in-person summer camps across 16 California locations (https://camp.integem.com/summercamp), enroll in online courses worldwide (https://camp.integem.com/onlineclass), or bring the program to their own school or organization through Integem's licensing option (https://www.integem.com/licensing/). Schools and education businesses can integrate this turnkey program into their curriculum, attracting more students and generating revenue while offering cutting-edge STEM education. Integem provides teacher training, curriculum guides, hardware kits, and ongoing support.

With AI and aerospace rapidly evolving, students gain hands-on experience beyond textbooks. They will build AI-powered drones, program autonomous flight, and launch high-altitude balloons equipped with sensors to collect real-world data. By studying drone applications in fields like space exploration, environmental science, and search-and-rescue, students develop problem-solving and engineering skills while having fun.

"At Integem, we don't just teach students to fly drones—we empower them to innovate, explore, and shape the future of technology," said Dr. Eliza Du, CEO of Integem. "This program makes AI, aerospace, and drone engineering accessible and exciting, giving students the skills and confidence to lead in STEM fields."

The AI Space Explorer Program ensures that students of all backgrounds can confidently dive into AI and space exploration. No prior coding or engineering experience is required. Whether flying a drone for the first time or programming an AI-driven system, students grow at their own pace.

Integem's licensing option enables schools and organizations to introduce AI and aerospace education without developing a curriculum from scratch. Institutions can expand STEM offerings, attract more students, and increase revenue while providing an industry-leading program in AI, drones, and aerospace technology.

The AI Space Explorer Program is more than just an educational course—it's a launchpad for the future. Whether in a summer camp, an online class, or through a school's licensed program, students will gain hands-on experience with the technology shaping tomorrow's world. Registration is now open. Join the movement—build, fly, explore!
