4 hours of PD for a group of up to 4 people

Meet CoDrone EDU

A Drone Made for Learning

Ages: 12+
Programming languages: Blockly and Python
What you'll learn: Drones, flight, accelerometers, gyroscopes, LEDs, color sensors, obstacle detection, sound, block coding, text-coding

The CoDrone EDU is a programmable drone, meant for learning in the classroom. Code it in Python or start from the basics with block-based coding. Unique to this drone are its color sensors, a front range sensor, a bottom range sensor, among others—all usable in code. With a durable and safe frame, programmable lights, and access to its 7 sensors, it's an excellent learning too and a great way to learn coding and engineering skills.

This is a great bundle for a classroom. It includes 20 drones with additional accessories and professional development to make sure you're confident using the kits in the classroom on day 1. We recommend 2 students to 1 drone, with a drone or two set aside for the teacher. This is a great set to purchase for a class of 20 - 30 students, if you have a space larger than a standard classroom, like a gymnasium.

"Basics + Intermediate" 4-Hour PD Course Included

A professional development course for a group of up to 4 people is included in this package. In this course, we'll help you get everything you need to hit the ground running on day 1.

Basics

• Unbox the drone with us and learn the ins and outs of all the features and specifications
• Learn tips for powering, pairing, and charging your drones
• Learn the rules for safe piloting, how to pilot the drone, and how to access all the settings on the controller
• Go over how to get started with programming and program your first autonomous flight!
• Know where to find all of our resources, tutorials, and lesson plans.

Intermediate

• How do drones work? Learn the basics of drone mechanics
• Drone applications in the real world and how to incorporate them into the classroom
• Deep dive into each of the 7 sensors and explore with programming examples

*This is a general outline. Our training can be tailored based on your needs.

Minimum System Requirements

If you're planning to use Blockly, make sure to check the minimum system requirements.

Student:Device Ratio

We recommend a 2:1 student to device ratio, or a 1:1 ratio for smaller groups under 10 students.
