Victor Appiah

Appiah’s innovative teaching idea, “Community Drone Revitalization,” focuses on providing an opportunity for the students at FCS College and Career Academy to become more engaged within their community through the use of a drone footage project. Students involved in the project will identify an issue within the community that they wish to shed a light on. Through aerial footage, they will create a video presentation that will be shared and presented to the community board of directors, chamber of commerce, city mayors, school leaders and local businesses. With the Voya grant, students will learn about the importance of being active members of their community through the introduction of commercial drone piloting and professional project management.
