TEDxCanberra 2011: Building a rescue UAV by Michael Engemann and Damien Tonkin

Damien and Michael are year 12 stu­dents from Dick­son Col­lege in Can­berra. They are design­ing, build­ing and fly­ing UAVs to deliver life-saving res­cue sup­plies to lost tourists stranded in the outback.

In this short talk at TEDxCanberra 2011, they use humour and bravado to discuss how being involved in the UAV Outback challenge as an extra-curricular activity has led to learning new things, discovering untapped talent and doing things they had never imagined.
