Starting a RC Aeronautics STEAM course at my school

[Boomfiziks]

I am very excited to announce that I received a grant to start up a RC Aeronautics STEAM (STEM) course at my high school (in Ashland, OH). I am just waiting to receive a check so that I can start making the purchases and get the class off the ground (no pun intended).

Keep your fingers crossed that things go well and that the course is a big hit.

Sincerely,
Dwight
Ashland, OH

Best of luck Dwight! don't forget to have them create their own nose art!

Thank you for calling it STEAM.

Good luck, Dwight!

Interested to hear how you:
- pitched the idea to your administration
- plan to deal with insurance (we've been utilizing the AMA's free youth membership to cover the kids, and registering each school as a flying field with our local AMA chapter to cover the school... you could also use AMA's UMASC program)
- plan to structure your course

The reason I'm interested: we've been working to find straightforward answers to those questions in NJ.

If you have a few minutes, check out the afterschool program my local FPV Racing Club is collaborating with NJ schools to develop: Safety Third Racing Academy.

It would be great to learn from each other!
