HBCU students are taking flight through a growing partnership with Amazon Prime Air. Capstone scholars from Hampton and Howard University took part in the drone delivery program’s Technology and Innovation Tour.
Amazon’s first commercial drone delivery facility launched in College Station, Texas, at the end of 2022. Four students in aviation, mechanical engineering, and computer science witnessed the process first-hand, while also speaking with the diversity leaders and engineers leading its development. As the company hopes to evolve the way customers get their packages through the emerging technology, its focus has expanded to its HBCU partnerships.
