Work + Play = Drone School
By Joan Janzen
Great Plains College in Kindersley had eighteen participants enrolled in their two-day Drone School on March 15th and 16th. Those participants were from various sectors, including oil and gas, agriculture, ranching and fire and rescue.
The in-person course proved to be very beneficial for those attending. One of the students said she had previously taken a course through Zoom; however, she found the in-person course much more helpful.
The course ended with the participants having the opportunity to fly their drones outdoors. Since the class portion of the course was finished, it was a chance for the students to try out their newly learned skills. The work had been completed, and now they had an opportunity to enjoy a bit of play by getting some “stick time.” Fortunately, the weather cooperated, and it was a beautiful, sunny day.
