Flight Night and Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance present the 2021 Flight Night Drone Showcase (Virtual Edition).

The Flight Night Drone Showcase has three division levels that test the young pilot’s skills through a series of flying tasks. The competition will prepare students from across Oklahoma to become world-class problem solvers as they wield their flying robots through cleverly designed obstacle courses.

The registration deadline is Friday, Jan. 8, 2021. Click here to learn more.

The Tulsa Regional Science Fair (TRSF) takes place during February, and is open to public, private and homeschool students from seventh through twelfth grades who reside in Tulsa and Creek Counties. There are two divisions: Junior Division (grades 7-9) and Senior Division (grades 10-12). Registration is "open," meaning students wishing to enter do not have to participate in a school science fair first. Submissions are due Monday, Feb. 15, 2021. Click here to learn more.

This event is held in collaboration with the University of Tulsa, Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance, and made possible by the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation and T.D. Williamson.
