🚁 Drones, Deputies & Future Innovators! 🚁
This past Friday, our 7th and 8th grade students had an incredible real-world learning experience when a pilot from the Pender County Sheriff's Department Drone Team visited our school! 👮♂️✨
He shared how drones are actively used by the department and wowed our students with a live flight demonstration right before their eyes! 🎯 Watching technology in action sparked excitement and curiosity about the many ways STEM careers show up in the real world. 🌍💡
Our students left inspired — and we couldn't be more grateful! 🙌
A huge THANK YOU to the Pender County Sheriff's Department for generously donating their time to invest in our students. 💙 This is what community partnership looks like! 🤝
