Young South Africans trained through Corinthians Africa's STEAM programme have formed C-Tech, a youth drone team that supports police, emergency services and local communities.
During protests in southern Johannesburg, the team deployed drones to provide live aerial footage while police resources were stretched.

The initiative shows how young people are using technology and their skills to improve public safety.
