Retired Teachers Association awards $500 to Waterloo teacher for drone program
Summary
Jim Montecolo of the Portage County Retired Teachers Association presented a certificate recognizing teacher Peter Negron as a $500 recipient for a classroom drone and simulator project intended to teach students flight skills and applications such as search-and-rescue and roof inspections.
Jim Montecolo, speaking for the Portage County Retired Teachers Association, announced the group's teacher-grant program and recognized Peter Negron as a recipient of a $500 grant to support a classroom drone project. "Peter is getting, 1 of our grants, $500 grant for his proposal for funding his modern city's drone project," Montecolo said, describing how a micro drone and first-person-view simulator will be used to teach students piloting skills, competition, and community applications.
Montecolo said the association, which has more than 300 retired educators in Portage County, began giving scholarships and later added teacher grants for programs that lack funding. He asked Negron to accept a certificate recognizing the award; the board and audience offered congratulations. Montecolo said the district will get an update on the project around May.
