Default FAA's "Buzzy the Drone" campaign .....

Got a good laugh the other day when I saw "Buzzy the Drone" on TV . For those unfamiliar with Buzzy , he's a cartoon multicopter character created by the FAA whose mission is to educate kids on the safe use of multicopters . The segment I saw focused heavily on keeping it in your visual line of sight and below 400 feet and out of the way of full scale .

How does this relate to the AMA ?

My question would be , If the FAA is to take on the role of educator , is there anything missing in what the AMA is doing in our education efforts ? When I first saw Buzzy I was kinda hoping he was an AMA creation , you know , plant the seed early and all , but instead it's the FAA and not AMA that'll stick in their young minds along with Buzzy ......
