On Wednesday, June 21, at 3:40 pm in the parking lot of the Al G. Langford Chaparral Center, the class will feature a drone demonstration from Thermal Cam.  Thermal Cam is an AI-based drone service company headquartered in Midland that provides oil & gas inspection programs, risk management, insurance claim disaster assessments and detection services for methane leaks, solar panels and wind blades.
