Learning about women safety with quad copters

  • | Saturday | 11th January, 2020

This workshop is the continuation of last year’s National Quad copter Workshop, where students were introduced to the drone and its working. “This year, we are teaching the students how to manoeuver the drone with a camera mounted on it. The second day involves practical learning where students fly the drones and the third day is entirely about trial runs,” says the department head of Computer Science, Padmasri. The usage of quad copters has greatly increased and now this technology can now be used as vigilantes for women’s safety. The college has not only extended its hospitality to students from other colleges from Hyderabad but also those from Bangalore.
