1. In celebrating the Annual Flying Labs Day, Zambia Flying labs
took drone technology as a way of inspiring and motivating
youths in our community. We celebrated Flying Labs Day
under the theme ''Drones for STEM Education for the Hearing-
Impaired''.
The activities that were carried out at this event included:
Career Talk 1: Engaging pupils in creative imagination and
interactive activities.

We had 114 pupils in total. They all thanked Zambia Flying

concerns regarding the lack of support for STEM programs
in Higher learning institutions for the hearing-impaired and
other physically challenged youths.
