Do you want to learn how to fly a drone?
If you are aged in between 12 to 17, here is your chance!

Upper Hunter Shire Youth Services are hosting a Drone Workshop where young people can safely learn how to use one of our most rapid developing technologies.

The workshop includes a hands-on experience with workshop attendees being able to fly the drones as well as undertake a brief training session, which will teach the importance of air law and air craft safety.
Vanessa Whitten, Upper Hunter Shire Youth Projects & Early Intervention Advisor, said the event has been made possible with funding from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
“The workshop will focus on teaching young people what drones can be used for, how to manage the technology and an overview of the current rules and regulations regarding their use,” Ms. Whitten said.

“Drones are changing the way we work and live, soon they won’t just be a hobby, they will become a way of life. Teaching the next generation how to use them is important for everyone’s safety,”

“Legislation governing the use of the technology changes on a regular basis and it is important young operators keep up-to-date with those changes, as they become more and more common place in our skies,”

The workshop will be held at Aberdeen Bowling Club on Thursday 15 April from 10am to 2pm. People aged from 12 to 17 are invited to attend. As numbers are limited, bookings are essential and must be received before Monday 12 April.

Cost of the day is $5
Lunch will be provided.
Please BYO water bottle.

Transport can is available from Merriwa, Murrurundi and Scone; however, seats are limited and need to be booked when with the workshop registration.

This is a COVID safe event.
