4-H holding National Youth Science Day Oct. 1 in Carson City

The University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Carson City Storey County Office is hosting 4-H National Youth Science Day on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 2621 Northgate Lane, Suite 15.

4-H National Youth Science Day is the world’s largest youth-led science experiment. Every year thousands of youth are taking part in the National Science Experiment focusing on important STEM topics and issues.

Drone Discovery will teach youth a wide variety of topics related to unmanned flight including flight dynamics, aircraft types, safety and regulations, remote sensing and flight control. Designed by Cornell University Cooperative Extension, the hands-on, three part engineering design challenge will allow youth to experiment with fixed and rotary wing designs, explore the concept of remote sensing and dive into the world of coding for real-world drone applications.
