No prior knowledge is required. The lecture is suitable for anyone curious about technology and autonomous systems. The lecture will be held in English.
Content
The lecture provides an introduction to the fundamentals of drone building and autonomous systems, drawing on a drone-building study circle previously conducted by Folkuniversitetet at Örebro University.

Continue in a pracitcal study circle
Do you want to move from theory to practice? After the lecture, you have the opportunity to join a hands-on study circle where you will build a drone from scratch. No prior knowledge is needed—just your curiosity! The completed drone will then be donated to Ukraine as part of an initiative combining technology and solidarity.

Help us donate drones to Ukraine
Folkuniversitetet is seeking donations to purchase components for building drones, which will then be donated to Ukraine. Every contribution—large or small—helps build more drones and send them where they are needed most. Send your contribution via Swish to 1231535129 and mark the payment "Drones for Ukraine".
Join an initiative where curiosity, technology, and compassion take flight together!
