Drones For Urban & Rural Development Workshop | 23 June 2021 | JHB
With the fourth industrial revolution hype now on us, the drone market is also not spared from suppliers who are selling drones and solutions that range from hardware to software and it is vital that you understand the technology before investing hundreds of thousands of rands or even millions of taxpayers’ money into something that might go idle after realising later that the solution you purchased was not the right fit for your task, problem or challenge.
This 1 day, hands-on workshop will help municipalities and local governments know what drones can do for municipal work and what they need to know before they launch a drone program.For registration and workshop details, Email: rethabile@aero247.co.za | Phone: 083 543 8445

Drones4STEM
We facilitate and conduct hands-on
drone technology school workshops and
holiday camps for Grades 3 to 11. The
programs are designed to stimulate the
interest of maths and science in students
through building, coding and flying
drones.
We teach pupils on the basics of building
a drone from scratch, coding and the
requisite skills for piloting and landing an
unmanned aerial vehicle in their
respective schools. Our program
provides skills useful for future
employment or business creation. We
practically and theoretically prepare
pupils for aviation, aerospace, robotics,
artificial intelligence and aeronautics
careers through unmanned autonomous
vehicles.
