Articles about UAVs and robot airplane “drones” have been in the newspapers and magazines and on the T.V. news, but few have actually been up close to one. This course will introduce you to this new technology. UAVs, and the aerial photography they can provide, promise to be a very useful tool for a wide range of applications. The course is offered by North American Robotics (NAR) - a local start-up company that builds, maintains, and operates a fleet of small scale, hand launched and recovered UAVs. Students who wish to continue training, can sign up with the instructor, for additional UAV Ground School, Mission Planning, Aerial Photography/Remote Sensing, and 6 hours of hands-on UAV Flight Training with NAR. #3467 Wed, April 24 Twin Oaks Middle School Dr. Michael Vogt

Medicare: What You Really Need to Know

Medicare is a complex issue and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear our government will simplify anything soon. Seniors pay a much larger share of their income in out-of-pocket health costs than non-seniors do...understanding the differences in the plans offered can reduce your cost. There are significant differences between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans...in coverage and cost. Part D (prescription) plans also contribute to the confusion. Regardless if you will soon become eligible for Medicare or you have been a participant for some time, this program will provide information about enrollment, eligibility, coverage, cost and options. #4050 Thu, April 25 Twin Oaks Middle School Jim Matson

Thursday, March 14 7 p.m. Prior Lake High School Science and Machine Collide in Commercial Scale Composting The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community operates the Organics Recycling Facility, a commercial scale compost facility. Microorganisms do the real work of transforming once-living organic waste items such as yard debris, food residuals, and paper products into compost. Most organic waste in the U.S. is still buried in landfills where it generates methane that mostly escapes into the atmosphere and warms our planet. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Compost benefits plants by providing nutrients, improving soil structure, and increasing soil water holding capacity. Compost operators utilize a variety of equipment and methods to provide air, water, food, and habitat for those microorganisms to thrive. This talk will summarize the science of composting and the equipment that the Organics Recycling Facility utilizes to create optimal conditions for microorganisms to do their work.

are active taskoriented groups who make recommendations about policies, procedures, program offerings, budgets, and more for ISD 719 Community Education Services programs. Together these groups determine what resources could be utilized to meet the needs and interests of community members without duplicating the efforts provided by others. If you would be interested in working with a council to address the lifelong learning needs of our district, please call Leanne Weyrauch, Director at 952-226-0082, to request an application for membership.

Our Mission The mission of the Prior Lake-Savage Area Community Education Services Program is to enhance the quality of life for all citizens by helping to provide opportunities for individuals to reach their full potential and contribute to their communities. To accomplish this mission requires that parents, family, schools, churches, businesses, community organizations and all people living within our community work together. This can be done through a cooperative effort in meeting the recreational, educational, social and cultural needs and wants of the community.

Please include on your registration form a phone number where you can be contacted during the day. Community Education assumes no responsibility for reaching registrants who do not provide an accessible daytime phone number. When ever possible messages will be left on voicemail/answering machines.
