🚲 Help Us Build More Than Bikes—Help Us Build Community! 💙
Brandywine Heights Area School District is proud to bring back our annual staff community service tradition with a Community Bike Build Project before the start of the new school year!
In partnership with a Jason's Bikes (Mertztown) and generous community sponsors, our staff will assemble bicycles and helmets that will be gifted to students, families, and community members, providing opportunities for recreation, transportation, and healthy living.
We're looking for businesses, organizations, and individuals to help make this event possible! Sponsors can choose to fund a youth bicycle, toddler bicycle, provide helmets, or make a donation of any amount. Every contribution helps us put another bike into the hands of someone in our community.
Together, we can create lasting memories, promote wellness, and strengthen the connections that make Brandywine Heights such a special place to call home.

Miles came into a fifth grade classroom and presented his Odyssey of The Mind train. Miles's team advanced to state finals from regional did not advance to the world finals, while doing so his team was recognized with a special award rarely granted: The Ranatra Fusca Creativity Award is a prestigious honor in the Odyssey of the Mind competition, recognizing teams or individuals for exceptional creativity, risk-taking, and innovative thinking beyond just solving the problem. The train they built runs on a combination of a baking soda air pressure piston and a electric motor. The kids ended up with a vehicle using an Arduino controller, infrared limit switches, solidnoid valves, geared timing belts, voltage regulation, PWM speed control, and a custom made crank shaft.
