Aircraft
Departed FCM on a VFR climb to the south.  Climbing through 2;300 [feet] we saw an object (looked like and aircraft) we assumed an aircraft potentially on downwind for Runway 28L at FCM.  We adjusted our flight path to pass to the right of the object.  No indications on ADS-B. As we got closer we were able to identify the object as a large drone with 4 rotors. The drone was stationary as we flew pithing 2;000 feet horizontally.  We immediately reported this to the FCM Tower.
Flight Instructor reported taking evasive action to avoid a drone.
