Hubbard School's is starting a drone racing team. We will be competing against other local schools virtually as well as in actual head to head races. The season runs from March to April, 2024.
We will be forming the team the first week back after the holidays. If you have any interest or have any questions, please feel free to email FosterJ@hubbard.k12.oh.us.
