York, SC Drone Competition February '24 |
The drone team is a newly established part of the South Stokes JROTC program. This program supports educational and intellectual growth while supporting STEM objectives. The drone team trains and participates in a variety of competitions. Drones directly impact the leadership role of those involved Cadets, requiring dedication, passion, teamwork, cooperation, and trust-building process. Because we are self-sufficient and must rely on each other, some of our cadets volunteered and became drone team "mechanics".
There is also an additional goal with the utilization of this program. Cadets are learning new technology, relying on their skills, and gaining confidence in the skills needed in today's workforce. Drones are commonly utilized within many specialty fields, therefore introducing this program is a training tool in shaping the future workforce. |
