This event was part of a competition to get middle and high school students excited about coding.

| An early drawing showing an example layout of how the maze course would be arranged. | This sketch shows how the walls were constructed. |
 |
 |
| We designed the maze to be easy to build and cheap for schools to replicate. | The materials included PVC and corrugated plastic. |
 |
 |
| This CAD assembly shows one possible arrangement of the maze's PVC skeleton. | The base consisted of PVC pipes and various fittings. |
 |
 |
| Standardized dots on the walls were used to assist with calculating distances. | The completed maze with exterior walls in place. |
 |
 |
| A computer program was used to generate "random" maze maps. | The target also was placed randomly in the maze. |
 |
 |
| High school students wrote code for the AR 2.0 Drones to navigate autonomously. | Middle schoolers flew mini drones on scripted paths. |
