One Foot
In The Clouds
We get Auckland students into aviation and aerospace by building real aircraft, competing, and developing skills that lead to careers in the industry.
What students do here
Students start by designing, building, and flying radio control aircraft. From there they move on to bigger projects: full-size kitset aircraft, maintenance camps with licensed engineers, and competitions against other schools.
We work with schools across Auckland including Rosmini College, Albany Senior High, Avondale College, and others. Sessions run after school and on weekends. No experience needed.
Ways to get involved

We use your workshop, fit around your timetable, and work with your teachers. Get in touch and we'll figure out what works.
Bring your school →Volunteers
Everything we do is run by volunteers. If you have a background in aviation, engineering, or education and can spare a Saturday, we'd love to hear from you.
