What an amazing week so far in the Wheatbelt region!

This week, we have been delivering our Drone Incursion program, bringing drones, robotics, and hands-on STEM learning to more schools and students across the region.

We still have another two days to go before the week wraps up, but we’ve already been so grateful for the warm welcome, support, and encouragement from the schools, teachers, and students we’ve worked with.

It has been fantastic to see students getting excited, asking questions, trying new skills, and learning about drone safety through hands-on activities.

A big thank you to Toodyay District High School for this wonderful feedback for us to share:

“Thank you for delivering such an engaging and worthwhile experience for our students. The two drone sessions were fantastic—students thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on activities and learning about drone safety. Without opportunities like this, many of our students would not have exposure to this important and rapidly growing technology. Your program has sparked genuine interest and excitement, and we truly appreciate the time and expertise you shared with us.”

Feedback like this means so much to us and motivates us to keep bringing drone, robotics, and STEM community event and programs to more communities across Western Australia.
