Introducing our school program
Introducing our school program
For the past couple of years we have had a school program; whereas we give substantial discounts (30%) on almost all of our products to schools.
In the meantime we supply many schools in Canada and the USA with engines and accessories for their classes.
If any of you from this forum are associated with a school, or know of a school, that would like to purchase Cox engines and accessories for their classes, please either contact us (or have the school contact us) via our website or write to our eStore operator, Nichole, at sales@coxengines.ca

Re: Introducing our school program
It would be amazing if my school could have classes that dealt with these engines. I imagine it would be engineering. There is an agricultural class that gets to dismantle old RC engines. But that is it. I think they re-use the same engines too. There is only a handful of kids who know anything about the hobby. Only two or three that have or run cox engines.

Re: Introducing our school program
There was a guy who was posting about a school program on here awhile back. he always posted as a guest though.
Re: Introducing our school program
Yes Jacob I think he was called Jeremy, Jeremy Kent maybe?
Rolla, Matt I believe that is the point, get the teacher/school to buy a few for class and inspire kids to take up the hobby in their spare time.

Re: Introducing our school program
I would think kids today would ask how you plug it into their games console!

One of my friends "took off" from college. He sits at his parents house, and writes walkthroughs for games he plays....
I think it would be hard to run an engine in class, or even outside as it would be considered very dangerous. An air-powered version would be a great example/demonstration
Classroom
The Science channel on TV did a program on model Rockets and was fun watching. Maybe a club could do a small tape on park Flyers using Cox engines/ electric etc as educational format. Show it to school or even a field trip. ?? Under club control can have a safe format in place. Anyway everytime they run the program on TV rocket sales spike highly.

Re: Introducing our school program
Some of the CECF members of long-standing may remember a school teacher who had been given a number of Sure-Starts to use as instructional aids in a model aviation program.
If the program is still going perhaps Bernie would like to make contact.
Does anyone remember as "search word" that might bring up this topic?
The instructor asked a lot of questions and we provided the anwers.

That was discussed above.
He was a guest not a member.
Haven't heard from him since.
