UAS Students Explore Drone Soccer at SUNY Polytechnic Institute

Friday, October 26th, 2025: Utica Academy of Science Junior-Senior High School (UASCS) students had the exciting opportunity to visit SUNY Polytechnic Institute for a hands-on drone soccer demonstration. This emerging sport combines the thrill of competition with the science and technology of drones, giving students a unique look at how STEM concepts come to life in innovative ways.

During the visit, students learned how drones are engineered, programmed, and piloted, while also seeing the teamwork and problem-solving skills that make drone soccer possible. Experiences like this spark curiosity and highlight the endless possibilities of STEM education—from aviation and robotics to coding and engineering.

At UASCS, we are committed to preparing our students for the future by providing opportunities to explore cutting-edge technologies and real-world applications of their classroom learning. Drone soccer is just one of many engaging ways our Atoms are discovering how science, technology, engineering, and math can open doors to exciting careers and innovations.
