Join Darling Geomatics and the FAA to learn about drones at the Navajo Nation!

Presenters include Rich and Mary Darling from Darling Geomatics, who plan to share their drone experiences working on construction projects with the Tohono O'Odham Nation, their drone curricula contributions with JTED, and as time allows, participate in a drone demo on the last day.
