Tech Tuesdays…

Opportunities in technology are vast and ever changing. We believe in getting youth exposed early!

Led by CEO DroneTech UAS Tony Reid with Beyond Expectations Executive Director Leontyne Anglin, more than 60 students at two Trenton based schools were introduced to Drone Technology today.

Our first stop was with the Columbus Elementary School STEM Club. Through a completely interactive hands-on session, students were teamed in pairs (Remote Pilot in Command and Visual Observer) with a mission to operate the drones and get them safely in flight!

We then headed to the Sprout University School of the Arts working with middle schoolers engaging in more in-depth discussion on the potential career, business opportunities, and practical safety guidelines. Following their drills to getting drones in flight, they were introduced to Virtual Reality through the Oculus Rift.

Very special thanks to Tony Reid for his time, commitment, energy and expertise!!

>> NEXT ON DECK: to introduce basic Coding instruction to write and learn programming concepts that control drones and keep them in the air … then explore broader opportunities in the field of Aviation.
