UCSC CIDER Drone Demonstration and Flight Day

Ever want to fly a drone or see the kinds of data they can collect? Join us for an opportunity to see various drone platforms in person and in action. The UCSC CIDER team will have a variety of drones available to demonstrate and discuss their capabilities for collecting data in the field. We will also have a few of our smaller introductory drones available for people to fly under the supervision of our trained pilots. Please use the link to RSVP so we have a sense of how many people to expect.

Live drone demo and hands-on flight experience - Monday, October 24th from 4:00-6:00pm at the Great Meadow, below the UCSC Music Recital Hall. Please RSVP here: https://forms.gle/KkNvPVdVGShm5Rgi6
