ING Robotic Aviation Provides 'Drone' Education To Canadian Outreach Program

Facilitated 'Game Of Drones' Activity Days For Students In Canada's Far North

Actua’s Northern Outreach Program has been selected by the management of ING Robotic Aviation as this year's focus of its annual program that supports one charity each year.

Actua delivers programming in communities throughout Canada's Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory, Nunavut, Northern Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador through hundreds of school workshops and many weeks of summer camp. The focus of these programs is to engage youth by creating outstanding STEM-centric engaging and educational modules.

"We are pleased to have the support of ING Robotic Aviation for this program,” said Jennifer Flanagan, CEO of Actua. “We have heard very positive feedback from instructors about the drone activities."

ING Robotic Aviation was able to provide a variety of activities for the “Game of Drones” program day. The company donated HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) simulators, whereby students were trained on how to plan and fly their own Responder helicopter drone survey missions within a flight simulator. As part of the focus on data-driven information, ING also provided the students with large image mosaics from actual flights we have done in the Arctic which the students piece together. The was to teach the students an understanding of post processing and how software can be used to produce maps. The students were shown actual digital 2D and 3D models created from the real flights in the arctic.

“We are very happy to support Actua with this excellent initiative,” states ING Robotic Aviation’s CEO, Mr. Ian Glenn. “ I and my team are personally gratified by the opportunity to touch and perhaps inspire over 900 age seven to twelve-year-old kids across Canada's Arctic this summer.”

Other supporters of this program include Google, General Electric and Suncor.
