Episode Description

What if learning to fly a drone could launch a high school senior straight into a high-demand career? In this episode, we travel to Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL to join Rocket Drones and the U.S. Space Force for the first-ever on-site drone competition — and to dig into what drone piloting really means for today's students.

We sit down with Brandon Turk and Chris Tonn of Rocket Drones, the competition's hosts, to explore the fast-growing world of drone piloting and the industry opportunities it opens up for graduating seniors. From the action on the competition floor to the career pathways behind it, this one's packed.
