Drone Technology Takes Flight
Drone Technology Taking Flight!
“Agriculture will be the leading industry sector to use unmanned aircraft in the United States”, says Aaron Reinholz, Director of Research Operations at North Dakota State University, as it strives to further precision agriculture. North Dakota’s Food, Land & People facilitators, Ginger Deitz and Jill Vigessa, have connected with Lindsey Leker, a science specialist at North Dakota State University Extension Service’s Center for 4-H Youth Development. They will become part of the 4-H National Youth Day where STEM educational opportunities take flight as students think like engineers to design, build and test drones.
