The
Franklin County School District is partnering with Gulf Coast State
College, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Panhandle Area
Educational Consortium, to involve local students in a three-day,
Unmanned Systems STEM Summer Challenge in June.
The
program will allow nearly 60 rising 9th and 10th grade students from
Gulf and Franklin counties learn more about drones and the growing
number of jobs associated with unmanned and autonomous systems.
Unmanned
drones are one of the fastest growing industries with applications
ranging from military and commercial uses including farming, film,
news and real estate.
The
STEM Challenge event will occur at Gulf Coast State College on June
5-7, 2018 from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM each day.
Gulf
Coast State College and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will
provide expert faculty for the event. School district supervision and
transportation will be provided and there is no cost for students to
attend.
Registration
forms are available from Ms. Anna Keel at Apalachicola Bay Charter
School and Ms. Luci Mathews at Franklin County School.
