I started volunteering at the local high school last year and this year we are building an Electrohub.
Tonight would have been the maiden but one of the motors has the jitters and we need to re-solder the bullets between the motor and the ESC. It took months to get here and I donated 4 copters to the school to play with. The school is buying lipos (I make the school handle lipos on school grounds) and has 2 Taranis transmitters.
Once this flies, I will bring in a foam fighter.
I also just got an email from FliteTest on FliteTest curriculum for STEM teachers. I passed this on to the school and am researching it myself as well.
The biggest challenge so far is soldering irons at the school. I am bringing in my home station as the school irons are too weak and have too small of tips for prime time.
I can say that this has been rewarding and challenging in ways I could not imagine (I don't have children of my own). Tonight they gave me a T-Shirt with the school logo on it. I hope to continue doing this for years and thank you FliteTest for all the help getting here.
