AERO-GENESIS

Aero-Genesis is a hands-on drone workshop conducted under Helix, the annual technical fest of Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology. The event is designed to give participants practical exposure by taking them through the complete process of building and flying a drone.

Participants will learn about drone components, electronics, control systems, and assembly, followed by guided building, configuration, and calibration of a drone. The workshop concludes with a supervised flight demonstration where teams test stability and control.

The event focuses on learning by doing, giving participants real-world experience through a structured, mentor-driven workshop.
