This program is a spinoff of a preceding programming concept called BAAN (Biomimicry and Art of Aeronautics in Nature competition). In its original format, BAAN did not get off the ground due to COVID restrictions in the schools. S2Inc decided to further hone the program's elements in a COVID-independent format. Teams organized through the schools will research and develop the biomimetic drone portion of BAAN, virtually. Teams' efforts at supporting proof of concept shall be known as Project SPOC.
A maximum of 15 teams representing schools in Broome County, Oneida County, and Onondaga County participated in the Year 1 Cohort (see Participants below). Six (6) teams participated in the Program Event on June 11, 2022 (see Program Event below).
