LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Some local students took flight, as they learn a little more about drones thanks to Rhodes State College. The Rhodesology mini-camp Saturday morning focused on precision agriculture drones, similar to the ones that local professionals use in the fields. The mini-camps are for kids second through seventh grade and are just a sample of the hands on activities that the students would do during the Rhodesology week long summer camps. The students showed of their flying skills on drones that were more advanced than they are used to.
“None of the kids have actually ever flown GPS drones that are here today, and this is the first time for them all,” says Ashley Hunter of Rhodesology. “So, it a difference of a basic drone to more of a high-tech drone for them. Drones are something that all the kids really enjoy.”
