Berrien RESA is excited to bring drones to your classroom! Through the generosity of the Bosch Corporation, and their partnership with Cornerstone Alliance, we were able to purchase 35 FlyBrix Lego drone kits. Ten of the kits are RC controlled while the other 25 are controlled via a bluetooth connection to an app enabled device. The FlyBrix app is free! On Monday, November 21 we were invited to Upton Middle School. We were able to work with 20 6-8 graders in one 40 minute block of time. Most students worked with a partner, but there were some groups of three. This seemed to work well; any more than three means someone would not have their hands in on the building. We learned a lot and are ready for the next classroom. Below are our biggest takeaways. _________________________________________________ 1. Kids were super engaged throughout the building process. They picked which of the three FlyBrix designs they wanted to build and used flybrix.com/build for direction
