The FARM-i-GEDDON & Metro Meltdown Northeast Team Drone Challenges are postponed until it is safe for teams to once again participate at a live, in-person events. We are anticipating a re-boot Kick-off of FARM-i-GEDDON in October 2021 with a competition in April 2022. All of our hands-on events are subject to changes in public health guidelines. We are committed to preserving the spirit & excitement of our original format & will continue to work on improvements throughout 2021.
