Drone Camp was a four hour conference-style event that addressed and challenged practical, theoretical, and ethical issues surrounding unmanned aerial rotocraft (aka drones). The centerpiece of the event was a panel discussion featuring Wheaton faculty Matt Gingo, Josh Stenger, Mike Sawyer, and Wheaton student Zevi Rubin ‘16. Each panelist delivered a ten-minute lightning talk that examined drones from the perspective of their discipline. Faculty member and moderator Patrick Johnson facilitated a broader discussion and Q&A from the audience. After the panel discussion, audience members had an opportunity to learn how to fly quad-copter drones through a series of flying challenges and compete in a drone obstacle course for prizes. The event was the first in a series sponsored by the IMAGINE Project.
