Tech Talk Roundtable 08-09 | Drone On

Description

Hey, if you’ve been with us since the beginning that means you have been listening to us drone on and on for eight whole years. We finally honor your stubbornness by addressing some fascinating applications of … drones.

This week, NASA scientists flew the first drone on Mars. This amazing technology has changed the way we look at flight, gives us a different point of view on the world (and other worlds) around us, and will likely be the way we receive future Amazon deliveries – beside all that they are really cool!

Today on the podcast we will welcome two of our own drone experts to tell us everything we need to know about drones. They have experience flying drones, filming with drones, and they also teach a drone CCA here at Concordia. Oh did I mention they are also middle school students?
