Drones are now part of everyday life. Used to survey and map areas, generate quiet and safe ‘firework’ displays, deliver post, and provide the action shots we love to see on screen. Here at the Museum of Technology we even use drones to check that our rooves and chimney are in tip top condition.

In this workshop you’ll be able to learn all about drones and there uses, talk to people who use drones as part of their day to day lives and jobs, and watch drone pilots use their skill to fly their drones around the Museum site. There will also be the opportunity to build your own non-flying drone air frame that you can take home and upgrade with parts to make it fully functional, or simply use as an interesting hanging decoration.
This event is in association with the Cambridge branch of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers – imeche.org'
