This past April and May, UniPod had the privilege of hosting the Ethio-Malawi Drone Camp in collaboration with Nkhwazi Aeros. This 5-week intensive program brought together 21 passionate participants, including 13 talented young women, all eager to explore the world of drones and their diverse applications.

The Ethio-Malawi Drone Camp was more than just a course on flying drones. It was an immersive experience designed to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of drone technology, data collection, and analysis software. Throughout the program, attendees gained hands-on experience in piloting drones, learning about their applications in various fields, and mastering data analysis tools essential for modern technological landscapes.

Our primary goal was to ignite a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among young minds. By providing a platform for practical learning and collaboration, we aimed to empower the next generation of innovators to explore new possibilities and drive technological advancements in their communities. The diverse group of participants brought unique perspectives and ideas, fostering a rich environment of collaboration and innovation. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm and dedication of these young minds as they tackled complex challenges and developed creative solutions.

As the program concluded, we were thrilled to see our graduates ready to take flight with their newfound skills. The knowledge and experience gained during the camp have equipped them with the tools to make a significant impact in their respective fields. We are excited to witness how they will leverage their skills to contribute to technological advancements and community development.
