Quidditch meets Formula 1: Drone soccer inspires next generation of aerospace innovators
Students from all over the world are in San Diego to compete in the first-ever Academic Drone Soccer World Cup & Career Fair.
“Drone soccer is a five-on-five competition, very similar to soccer in the positions. So you have a forward and a striker trying to score and then you have a keeper or a goalie,” said Sarah Hillard, the drone soccer coach at Millennial Tech Middle School.
While it's mainly fun and games, drone soccer is preparing students for careers in aerospace.
