Florida Power and Light (FPL) is donating four state-of-the-art drones to George T. Baker Aviation Technical College, bringing the total value of their donations of drones to the school to over $8,000.
This gift will bolster the college’s Avionics Systems Technician Program and provide students with the opportunity to develop valuable technical skills in a safe and scalable learning environment.
“Our avionics program includes a comprehensive drone component where students can design, assemble, repair and operate drones,” said Ciro Hidalgo, principal at George T. Baker Aviation Technical College. “FPL’s generous donation of state-of-the-art drones will enhance our students’ learning experience.”
FPL’s donation includes four cutting-edge drones which will provide students with access to the latest technology preparing them for careers in the fast-growing drone industry.
In November 2022, FPL donated six racing drones as part of a comprehensive “Drones in School” Team startup equipment package. The donation brought the thrill of drone racing to the classroom, offering hands-on experiences for students to expand their skill sets and interests.
This partnership with FPL exemplifies the power of collaboration between industry and education to provide students with the resources they need to succeed in today’s competitive job market.
