The fifth annual Micro Drone race will take place starting today until Sunday, according to a museum spokesperson.

Registered drone pilots can begin practicing daily at 9 a.m. and then race in a series of practices and qualifying rounds.

Visitors will see fast-flying micro machines as pilots maneuver their drones during micro drone races, the spokesperson said.

Visitors will also get a hands-on experience with the museum’s education division’s computer-based simulations and fly a drone with computer-based simulators from the Sinclair Community College Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) program, the spokesperson said.

Visitors can enter a free drawing to win a microdrone on Saturday and Sunday.
