WCEF Funds School Drone

The Worth County business department recently completed a grant through the Worth County Education Foundation to purchase a drone for classroom use and for FBLA use.  The drone purchased has 4k HDR video quality and will allow students to learn how to fly a drone and also give them unique abilities to capture videos and pictures for class video productions and for FBLA projects.  The drone is under 250 grams so it is not required for students to be licensed to fly the drone.    Since the drone has arrived an FBLA group has already used the drone to capture video footage for a website that they are designing for the FBLA contest event of E-Business.  Ali Brown, Taylor Sanders, and Drew Welch teamed up with Dan and Bobbi Gladstone of Worth, MO to feature their unique grain bin rental property to build the website for (See Page 1).  The team is confident their rental property will be the coolest in the competition.  John Galanakis tagged along to help fly the drone in tight spaces. FBLA heads to district leadership contest in early February to present their videos, websites, and speeches to judges.
