Back to School supplies don’t just drop out of the sky—unless you were at Best Buy Canada’s ‘Back to School Drone Drop’ event! Best Buy was at Toronto Metropolitan University’s Orientation Week Street Festival, where it gave students the chance to win fantastic prizes to kick-start their school year. At the Best Buy event tent, attendees had multiple chances to win top-notch school tech and gear.
Best Buy takes Back to School giveaways to new heights
There was an exciting twist to Best Buy’s giveaways: they were flown in via drone to winners. Leave it up to Best Buy to use cool tech like drones to make a grand entrance. That wasn’t the only way to win; there was also a prize wheel, and other fun activities. Let’s take a look at all that was on display and some of the great back to school gear available to win.
Spin the Best Buy Canada prize wheel
While waiting for the drone to swoop in, attendees could line up and try their luck at the event tent. Inside, you could give the Best Buy Canada prize wheel a spin. There were plenty of things to win, big and small, to help with student life for the upcoming term. Here’s some of the gear that was up for grabs and the different ways it will help get student’s life on campus started on the right foot:
Shokz headphones
Shokz OpenRun Bluetooth headphones and Shokz OpenFit Air wireless earbuds are both excellent choices for listening to music or podcasts while moving between classes, during long study sessions, or while exercising.
Insignia travel adapter
Many students walked away with the Insignia all-in-one travel adapter. The device is a must-have to keep everything connected and charged, especially for days with long lectures.
JBL speakers
Students also had the chance to win JBL speakers, a must-have for any college student. They’re perfect for both dorm parties and just filling your room with music while studying.
Best Buy gift cards
$25 Best Buy gift cards were also up for grabs to help with some last-minute back to school purchases. There were also study time knickknacks like stress balls and Rubix cubes. These are also great for relieving stress and some tension after long hours of learning.
Back to school giveaway drone drop
Throughout the festival, every hour on the hour, the giveaway drone would descend with a big prize. The drone was the star of the show, packing some huge reveals with grand prizes. Before the drone swooped in, students would enter a draw for the mystery prize onboard.
The item was revealed when it landed, and a lucky winner was drawn. There were some big-time prizes to help get the school year started right. These included:
Ninja specialty small appliance
There’s nothing like treating yourself to some homemade ice cream and sorbet after a long day of classes. The Ninja CREAMi ice cream, sorbet, and milkshake maker offers quite a few different frozen treat options, including smoothies, milkshakes, and more.
Nespresso coffee maker
Caffeine can often be your best friend in a college or university setting—I know it was vital to my success. It’s an essential companion for early-morning classes or late-night study sessions. One cup of great coffee can make a world of difference. With the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+, you can select five coffee sizes or make it hot or cold to suit your preference.
Segway electric scooter
The Segway Ninebot is ideal for getting around campus quickly and efficiently. Just don’t forget your helmet! An electric scooter is a convenient mode of transportation that can save time between classes. It also made a great grand prize for one lucky winner!
Meta Quest VR headset
If you are looking for the ultimate virtual reality experience, the Meta Quest 3 is great for entertainment and education. It can provide immersive learning experiences, and it’s a fun way to take a break from studying and venture off on a short VR vacation.
