What Your Support Provides

With your help, our volunteer team invests in New York’s future workforce.  We provide drone-focused workforce development & STEM events that introduce students & adults to the latest technology.

Our events connect students to educational & employment opportunities via

  • technology-centered competitions
  • sponsor exhibits & information
  • great host locations
  • opportunities to mingle with technology leaders –  company volunteers, other high school & college students, & our seasoned mentors

CNY Drones events are planned & run by members of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, a not-for-profit, national community-based organization dedicated to the promotion of model aviation as a recognized sport as well as a recreational activity.  We adhere to all AMA Safety Guidelines in addition to FAA Regulations in order to promote a safe flying community.  The majority of our events are indoors using an abundance of redundant safety precautions.
