Grants to Middle Schools

This fall has been busy for Mountain West UAS’s Education Initiative led by Bill Sample!

On October 9th, Bill made his Search & Rescue presentation to the Buena Vista Middle School’s STEM class being taught by Jon Ail. Then Bill and Taylor showed up on October 24th to talk about the wide variety of opportunities for students pursuing their Remote Pilot Certificate. To top it off, the class was presented with a grant of two Tello drones to whet their flying appetites.

Then on November 3rd Bill and Taylor were invited to spend the afternoon with the middle school students of Darren Patterson Christian Academy. While Bill gave his Search & Rescue presentation to half of the class, Taylor did some flying with the other half. As with BVMS, DPCA was also granted two Tello drones.
