Call for Participation: Inaugural Drone Challenge at the Digital Futures Drone Arena, June 15-17, 2022

Come join the Inaugural Drone Challenge at the Digital Futures Drone Arena, a one-of-a-kind hackathon with aerial drone technology! The event takes place on June 15-17, 2022 at KTH’s Reactor Hall in Stockholm, Sweden.

Are you curious about how technology and humans may play together? Are you keen on helping to understand how technology may shape the future of society? Are you enthusiastic about technology or a drone hobbyist/practitioner? Do you want to learn how to use drones? Then this event is for you! 

We welcome up to 10 teams of 2-4 people. You don’t need your own drone or other materials to participate – and we’ve got exciting prizes for the most successful teams!

Read more about the challenge, the prizes, and how to sign up on our Drone Arena challenge website.

We look forward to exploring with you how to get out the best of drones and people working together!
