The ME Program is hosting two ‘camps’ in the January school holidays for girls to learn drone piloting.
The two day sheflies events will be held at two Hunter locations – PCYC Port Stephens and Hunter School of Performing Arts. The camps will teach girls:
Manual flight tutorial and practice (hands-on)
Scenario based flight practice activities (hands-on)
Real-life applications of drone technology
Australian regulations, safety considerations, flight briefing
Girls will work in teams of three throughout the sessions and swap between the roles of Pilot in Charge, Co-Pilot, and Air Traffic Controller. You will learn by undertaking ‘real life’ scenarios.
