As drone technology expands across logistics, aerospace, and public safety industries, Euless-area students are already testing their skills in high-level aerial robotics competitions.

Three student drone teams from Harmony campuses in Euless have advanced to the 2026 South Central Aerial Drone Championships following strong performances at the recent “Mission Time Warp” competition held in Fort Worth.

The qualifying teams include:

Flying Tigers 3 (Team 89206C), Harmony School of Innovation-Euless

CPB (Team 6808C), Harmony Science Academy-Euless

Flying Tigers-HS (Team 6808B), Harmony Science Academy-Euless

These teams will compete at the South Central Aerial Drone Middle School Championship on May 8-9 at the Starlight Event Center in El Paso, Texas. In addition, a Harmony School of Innovation-Fort Worth high school team also advanced to the regional high school championship, further highlighting North Texas student success.

The South Central Championships bring together top-performing teams from across Texas as well as neighboring states including New Mexico and Oklahoma. Students compete in Mission 2026: Time Warp, demonstrating skills in autonomous programming, piloting precision, teamwork strategy, engineering documentation, and formal interviews with certified judges.

“This event is part of our ongoing effort to promote STEM education and provide students with engaging opportunities to apply their classroom learning to real-world scenarios,” said Adam Unlu, M.Ed., Harmony Public Schools North Texas STEM/GT district coordinator. “Drone competitions build technical, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that open doors for our students and can lead to future opportunities in engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, aerospace, and other technology-driven careers.”

The Aerial Drone Championship events are conducted in collaboration with the REC Foundation. For more information about the REC Foundation, visit https://recfevents.org/#/.
