Join Harper College for an afternoon of learning and fun at our second Drone Experience and Safety Day! Set for Saturday, April 26th, from 12pm to 4pm, this community event will feature discussions on drone applications across various sectors, regulations, and the safe operation of drones for recreational and commercial purposes. This event will be part of the FAA’s annual Drone Safety Day campaign.
The event kicks off with a series of dynamic 15-minute talks between 12pm and 2:30pm in Building D, Rooms 195 featuring experts using drone technology in different domains. Demonstrations will take place between 2pm and 4pm. All are welcome to this afternoon of discovery and learning. For more information email drones@harpercollege.edu.
It was a great set of presentations, FAA, Seiler, Citizens for Conservation, Power Construction and a couple of County/City folk to talk about their work.
A big shoutout to Citizens for Conservation for their partnership with the Harper students to get some very interesting drone experiences and some flight time at different locations.
Also, it was interesting to see the changes happening at the federal level for enforcement and reinforced the importance of pilots keeping up to date on all the latest rules and regulations.
I had to leave before the demonstrations, but they had several drones of different uses and sizes out there. From DJI Mavic to a VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) drone that I wish I had the chance to see.
Hope to see you there!
