Q9. There is a requirement for assessment of the cadets. Would a 5-question quiz after each training (Drones in Action, 3D Printing, Robotic Exploration, and Programming and Coding) be acceptable?
A9. Yes.
Q10. The solicitation calls for hands-on for 135 students in each of the AM and PM sessions. We would like to suggest splitting the 3 hour and 15-minute session into 4 sessions of 50 minutes each with about 10 minutes to rotate between stations. We would divide the 130 students into 4 stations (33 students per station). Each group would rotate through the 4 stations so that everyone has hands-on training. Would this be acceptable or are we mandated to use the schedule found within the solicitation?
