Teens fly drones at Hugh Embry Branch Library

May 1, 2019 By Christine Holtzman

The Teen STEAM program at Hugh Embry Branch Library, 14215 Fourth St., in Dade City, recently held a drone obstacle course event. Behind the controls, these teens were in charge of flying their mini drone through several hoops and obstacles to earn a prize. Flying experience wasn’t necessary to compete in this free event. The Teen STEAM program meets weekly at the library with different activities geared toward youths, ages 12 to 18. For more information about the Teen STEAM program, call (352) 567-3576.

Sarah Pass, librarian assistant, left, watches as 15-year-old Ricardo Sosa, of Zephyrhills, checks the drone’s battery before he competes in the obstacle course. According to Pass, who is charge of the library’s technology, it takes her approximately two weeks to complete drone repairs after an event.
Seventeen-year-old Andrew Bishop, of Dade City, flies his drone through a high hoop during the obstacle course challenge. For completing the course, Bishop was rewarded a pair of earbuds from the prize box.
