Barge Design Solutions

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the “Flying Squirrels,” a UAV group of young students at FE Burleson Elementary in Hartselle, Alabama. Huge thanks to Casey Oliver for making this opportunity possible! It was inspiring to see their curiosity and excitement as we explored how technology is shaping industries like surveying, planning, and mapping. Their enthusiasm and thoughtful questions were a great reminder of the importance of sparking interest in STEM at an early age. I’m grateful for opportunities like this to engage with the next generation and share the possibilities that technology can unlock. Proud to be part of Barge Design Solutions, a company that values community education and investing in future innovators!?
