All-girls camp to boost interest in drones

Over the course of three days, young girls who have a desire to know more about drones will be taught introductory skills that would be the foundation for their future careers in dealing with drones.
The training, to be held at the National Library from August 14 to 16 at 09:00h,
is a collaboration between the National Library, the Guyana Drone Operators Association, and the Rotary Club of Demerara.
This activity will enable young girls aged between eight and 16 years old to build drones from scratch and set possible careers in aviation. The young girls are expected to learn the basics of Stem/drone programming, applications, and scratch coding during the three days.
“These basic skills will allow the girls to boost their interest, or simply adopt some if there’s none,” said Julian Cadogan, Secretary of the Guyana Drone Operators Association.
The camp is intended for girls only, to broaden their knowledge in engineering and bring more females into the field, since it is mostly dominated by boys/men.
