TEN DAYS AWAY!

We are excited to share that we will be hosting a free, community field day where adults with physical disabilities can learn to fly radio-controlled airplanes!

This event is targeted towards people who have barriers with manipulating RC controllers due to upper extremity weakness, such as higher spinal cord injuries, MS, mild CP, etc.

Newly-designed, accessible attachments and radio controllers programmed by students from the University of Nevada, Reno, College of Engineering will be provided for use. Radio-controlled airplanes will be provided for use, and RRCC members will be on-site at the event to help teach community members how to fly. No prior experience flying radio-controlled airplanes is necessary.

When: September 19, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Where: Reno Radio Control Club Airfield

Members of the local community are encouraged to attend this free, public event.

This event is made possible by a collaboration between the Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED), the Nevada Assistive Technology Resource Center (NATRC), and the Reno Radio Control Club (RRCC).

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

You may not always know what someone is experiencing. A check-in, a listening ear, a number shared at the right moment, can make a real difference. ***dePrevention starts with connection.
