“I love the different levels and the way it makes it so much easier for the students to get their hands on things. It allows them to bridge the gap, and it’s not an overwhelming experience right up front. I love the fact that it slows things down for them and lets them get oriented.”

- Scott Feazell

St. Paul Catholic School Technology Director

“I see myself relating drones to technology and agriculture with spraying the fields and fertilizing them. In agricultural machinery, hitting spots that don’t have weeds with spray wastes money. With a drone, you can just spot spray some areas.”
