The Tiffin University Drone Academy will sponsor a Drone Community Fly Day on Saturday, June 8 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Hedges-Boyer Park’s Moose Shelter House. The event aims to educate participants on how to operate Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) technology safely for recreational use and is free and open to the public. Attendees may bring their own drone or choose to fly one provided for them. No prior experience is necessary.
Fly-demonstrations from several local organizations will also take place, such as the Tiffin University Drone Academy and the Seneca County Drone Team, a collaboration between the Tiffin and Fostoria Police Departments and the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office.
“We’re thrilled to welcome you to our Community Fly Day,” expressed Owen Fritz, Director of the Drone Academy and Assistant Professor of Computer Science. “This year, we’ll showcase how drones contribute to life-saving operations and emergency response. It’s a great opportunity to witness the impactful ways drones can safeguard and assist our community. Join us to explore these vital technologies and even pilot a drone yourself!”
Refreshments will be provided for all attendees. Registration is encouraged but not required. To register, email DroneAcademy@tiffin.edu.
