There’s no replacing the real thing but as Blue Scholars transitions from a hands-on experiential program to the virtual classroom, we’ve worked to capture exciting video content of our curriculum so we may continue to engage our students about the wonders and beauty of South Florida’s marine ecosystem. Filming from the ground level we can get face to face with our subject and share specific details up close. Without the critical hands-on component to enhance the sensory learning, however, we felt we needed something more, and thanks to our friends at TUUCI we got just that.
Their recent donation of a DJI Inspire 1 drone allows Blue Scholars to now take flight and soar with the sea birds to get an aerial perspective of Biscayne Bay and beyond. Perspective is everything, and what better way to experience and understand the interconnectedness of not only the natural world but also the built environment around it. We’re grateful for this generous gift and TUUCI’s continued support, and we’re super excited to capture more thrilling views from above to enrich the virtual experience for our Blue Scholars.
