D4G Theme 2025:

Disaster Relief

Drones4Good Overview

Drones4Good is an exciting STEM competition involving drones for students in elementary and middle school. Students will work with their mentors and teachers to develop an innovative drone-based solution to a problem in their community, state, or the world. They will build and fly their own K'Nex based drones. Examples of D4G drones built in past years can be found in the pictures on this page. Also videos that explain how the basic kit we provide is assembled. Students will develop research, problem-solving, and communication skills while designing, building, and flying their own drones.

Mentor Resources

Presentation

(Problem Solving Challenge)

The presentation is part of the project. Using this year’s theme of Wildlife Conservation to identify a problem or challenge, teams will develop a conceptual solution that positively utilizes aerial drone technology. No materials are to be given for review outside of each team’s presentation time, so any information that teams wish to provide the judges for consideration should be provided in the time allotted. Presentation rules can be found in the Game Manual on page 13.
