‘Junior Drone Academy’ offered at the Heckart
Sedalia Parks & Rec and the Sedalia Police Department is offering a Junior Drone Academy for kids ages 8-16 at the Heckart Community Center, 1800 W. 3rd Street.
The four sessions will introduce youth to the exciting world of drones through hands-on learning and real flight time.
Participants will explore how drones work, practice safe flying skills, and take to the controls with confidence.
The program also guides students through earning their TRUST certification, a nationally recognized requirement for recreational drone pilots.
Whether they’re dreaming of future careers in technology or just love to fly, this academy helps young pilots learn, launch, and level up.
Cost is $40 per child, and there is a maximum class size of 10.
Sessions will take place at the Heckart from 12 to 4 p.m., on Tuesdays, June 22 & 30, and on July 7.
Then the last session will take place July 14 at Convention Hall in Liberty Park for the final flight.
A snack will be provided at each session.
