On September 25, 2024, Michigan Central, Newlab, and CODE313 hosted the second annual Youth Drone Day – an immersive workshop designed to inspire and educate Detroit students about the exciting world of drone technology, and its applications in aerial mobility, technology and coding. More than 300 students — aged 7 to 17 — from eight Detroit area schools participated in the event. They learned everything from aerial mapping missions and 3D photogrammetry to drone building and maintenance. They also had a ton of fun with drone art and drone basketball.
