Students attend drone and aviation camp in Versailles

Hosted by Genesis: Pathways to Success

(VERSAILLES, Ind.) – More than 20 local students participated in a Drone and Aviation Camp at South Ripley High School. 

It was one of the camps offered by Genesis: Pathways to Success through their Summer of STREAM program. 

The campers created paper airplanes, engineered their own gliders, and flew mini-drones through obstacle courses

To wrap up camp, Xperience Ag brought farming drones to present to the campers. Campers asked questions and learned how the drones work, how aerial imaging helps farmers, and what it’s like to run a tech-focused agricultural business

“I’m definitely coming back next year! The water bottle rockets reminded me of baseball and when we shot them, it felt like a home run. We ran all the way out there to see our accomplishments and we just kept improving each time,” said student Beau Bonelli.
