Learn from the pilot who publishes the research
Training & Mentorship
Two ways to learn here: get your FAA remote-pilot certificate, or take a research project from idea to fair-ready — guided by an IEEE-published Ph.D. who flies these missions commercially.

Student Research Mentorship
How it works
- Scope — a free 20-minute consultation to match the student's interests to a project that is real, runnable, and right-sized: drone technology, RF and wireless experiments, simulation studies.
- Build — one-on-one sessions from research question to experiment design, data collection, and analysis. The student does the work; we teach the craft.
- Present — poster, paper, and presentation coaching to the standard fairs actually judge by, from the Santa Cruz County Science & Engineering Fair to ISEF-affiliated competitions.
- Integrity — we mentor; we don't ghostwrite. Fair rules and academic honesty come first, always. That's the same standard your mentor applies as a three-time county-fair judge.
