Salvation Army Kroc Center Philadelphia

It's a bird...it's a plane...IT'S A DRONE!

This summer, Grace3 Technologies LLC , Skydio , The Hidden Genius Project , and Philadelphia Police Department held a workshop at our turf field training young men in Philadelphia how to fly drones!

Grace3 Technologies will be returning to the Kroc Center for our upcoming Open House! They will bring their drones and allow our guests to try out drone flying without any previous experience! You will not want to miss this!

Join us and Grace3 Technologies on Saturday, September 12th to fly drones and see all that the Kroc Center has to offer at our Open House from 10am-1pm.
