Explore the Orbits
Orbits are immersive, hands-on learning pathways designed around real-world technical systems and industry-relevant outcomes. Orbits guide innovators through a structured experience where they build, test, and apply technical skills over time. Each Orbit moves innovators beyond exposure and toward demonstrated capability, credentials, and real-world opportunity.
The Orbital Journey
From Curiosity to Capability
Launch into an Orbit
Launch
Innovators enroll in an Orbit aligned to a specific industry domain. Each Orbit represents a focused technical pathway built around a real-world system, applied engineering concepts, and a culminating credential or industry-aligned outcome.
Build Within the Orbit
Build
Work with real tools, hardware, software, or technical platforms. Build, assemble, code, configure, or design functional systems. Troubleshoot failures and iterate solutions through guided experimentation.
Achieve Orbit Readiness
Prove
Innovators demonstrate functional competence through practical demonstrations, skills checklists, and performance-based challenges that validate real capability.
Deploy Beyond the Orbit
Deploy
Every Orbit culminates in a tangible, externally meaningful outcome. Innovators leave with clarity on careers, internships, college majors, entrepreneurship, and advanced certification pathways.
Available Orbits
Choose Your Trajectory
Drone Program
Build. Fly. Certify.
The Build. Fly. Certify. Orbit immerses innovators in drone systems engineering, flight operations, and aviation regulations through hands-on construction and applied learning. Innovators build a functional quadcopter, learn the physics and engineering principles that govern flight, and develop the knowledge required to pursue FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certification.
Robotics Program
Build. Code. Unleash.
The Build. Code. Unleash. Orbit immerses innovators in robotics systems engineering, embedded programming, and applied artificial intelligence through hands-on construction and applied learning. Innovators build a fully functional robot, learn the engineering and software principles that govern autonomous behavior, and develop the skills required to integrate modern AI with real-world hardware.
