Area 57 is all about tech and aviation. 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Did you know Warren Community College has been building a nationally acclaimed Drone/Robotics/AI program - all about Unmanned vehicles that include land, sea and sky! WarrenUAS affords students the opportunity to complete certification programs, obtain their Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot license, get a solid Associates degree and continue further degrees at top schools like Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. 

​

Earlier this year when everyone was worried about Drones in the sky, many news outlets called on WarrenUAS as experts. Here are a variety of interviews by our own Dr. Will Austin!

​

Come out and learn about WarrenUAS and drones in general. 

 

Area 57 will also feature Combat Robots, organized by the newly formed Garden State Combat Robotics League. The League is quickly growing and with a serious competition arena, built with the support of Warren Community College and ExploreWarren.org. Robot competitors are traveling to be a part of our competitions.

Visit Moon Base: Launch Pad 57 and build a rocket! Our rocket scientist, Henry Skirbst, will help your child build one of three style rockets (one appropriately easy enough for your child.) Then they will take to the launch field to see who can fire the furthest!

​

Time travel with Autocades mobile arcade and their space and science-fiction themed classics.  Blast space bugs in Galaga, stop the alien invasion in Defender, avoid the assault in Asteroids, and take down the Death Star on the Atari Star Wars space shooter with its iconic vector graphics and learn the ways of the Jedi on the Star Wars video pinball machine. ($10 wristband to play, $20 family pack of parents and one child.)

​

Of course, there will be a few hot air balloons, during the event. Ask your questions about How a Balloon Works with RE/MAX! Check out their handicap accessible basket, and walk about inside a real hot air balloon (weather permitting). Check out suspected alien Fred G Monster special shape hot air balloon, and tethered rides, as weather allows!
