Observer-Dispatch: NYS master teachers receive drone training
CNY Drones recently presented a six-hour drone program for the Capital Region New York State Master Teachers Program at the University of Albany. Nine STEM teachers from eight school districts participated in learning the basics of drone building, radio controller programming and First Person View (FPV) flying. By the end of the session, attendees were maneuvering a drone that they could introduce to their classrooms with ease and repair as needed. Support materials were provided via the CNY Drones website, where regular updates on the swiftly changing technology can be easily accessed along with answers to questions as they integrate drones into their existing curriculum.
This year’s CNY Drones Team Drone Challenge is scheduled for April 15, in Utica and will be hosted by the SUNY Polytechnic Institute AMA University Model Aviation Student Club.
