🐺 Now Accepting Applications — DroneWolf 2026 Summer Program

DroneWolf is now accepting applications for our 5-day summer intensive program — June 8–12, 2026 — Classes run daily from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM at the Maritime and Defense Technology Innovation Hub Saint Petersburg, Florida and on the water.

Students earn industry certifications including an Intro to Physical AI credential, rover operations and autonomous systems fundamentals, and plus an optional scuba certification for those who want to go deeper (literally).

Before hitting the field, students use the DroneWolf.AI sim-to-real / real-to-sim platform — developed by AALMV and deployed through nonprofit partner SOFWOLF with Agentic AI support — to certify and test their rovers and sensors in simulation, exactly the way industry professionals validate systems before live deployment.

Then put it all to the test. Students compete in live outdoor mission challenges alongside U.S. Coast Guard operators and industry experts in autonomous systems spanning aerospace, automotive, coastal, and maritime domains — applying physics, precision, and teamwork in real-world, mission-critical environments.

Local students are welcome to drop off and pick up daily. Out-of-state students who are approved will be lodged in the dorms at USF St. Petersburg.

Spots are limited and demand is high — you must be approved to participate. Apply now and we'll be in touch to let you know if you made the pack. 🐺
