Based on the Droneblocks contest announcement I volunteered to donate 5 drones to the local district which has nothing now.
The district is excited about it but we are struggling to come-up with an affordable way to get a small drone/programming program going at the middle school. Droneblocks posts an "inclusive" bundle of hardware and software on their site but it turns out if you ask about it they just pitch a $500 curriculum package with no hardware (up here in NE that is called bait and switch).
So if you were me and were willing to donate $500-$600 towards getting the middle school up and running what would you do?
I have been following Droneblocks for a while but I am hugely disappointed in their clueless responses to my questions. Are there any educators out there using Droneblocks for their education program?
All in all I thought this would be as simple as filling out an Amazon order and shipping it to the school but no joy...
