High school Student Drone Crew
Donation protected
8/1/17 UPDATE: We have had a lot of fun getting everything ready this summer for the Club. The Ground Station, that allows more than one pilot to fly at one time is up and running and works beautifully.
School is in two weeks and we still need a few things, but we need Batteries and FPV receivers badly. If you could help, we would be greatful.
We are seeking donations to help buy supplies needed to start a Drone Flying Club for high schoolers. No donation is too small. We will be running this program throughout the community and throughout the summer to keep these kids active and give them something other than video games and their phones to occupy their time. We will be scheduling indoor flying events and classroom demonstrations at his school Valley Academy of Arts.
I am a professional drone builder and plan on using my knowledge of the industry to help train these students, not only how to fly, and have fun, but also how these skills can help them move forward in this ever changing field if it's something they want to pursue.
I will also be teaching these kids how to build their own drone and we will be using that drone to show other schools at various fairs and events what these kids can do.
We could use your help.
To start off we would be purchasing 7 "70mm" FPV drones, 4 Micro FPV drones, 8 transmitters, 8 FPV goggles, 2 FPV Screens, 3 chargers, parts for student built drone and everything else needed, like batteries and spare parts to keep the program running.
I will update any of those that donate with pictures and progress that we have made as a club and any supplies that have been purchased.
These kids need your help to get them involved in something that, at the least gets them away from electronic devices, and may also spark a desire to start a career in this exciting field.
You can see one of the Trainer Drones I am building for the kids on my YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/y4lC3zCkO6Y
Again no donation is too small.
Thanks
