Drone Piloting in Oceanside

In 2022, we launched the Drone Piloting in Oceanside (DPOside) program, and it has been an amazing program for the past 5 years.  DPOside is a community-based career training program based in Oceanside, California, with participant engagement from throughout San Diego County.  Our training has included coastal, inland, and forestry-related drone pilot training.  Thanks to our many participants, from wonderfully diverse backgrounds and communities, we have all learned together about ways that we may shape the emerging drone industry and the opportunities to learn that drones provide for all of us.  We have connected with the ocean, beaches, lakes, lagoons, rivers, forests, parks, and each other, exploring the many places in nature where we all belong.
