Although DJI recently discontinued the Tello EDU and RoboMaster drones, educational drones offer a solid path to teaching programming and piloting skills in your classroom. We spent time with our new addition, the CoDrone EDU, learning to fly and program. Compatible with Blockly and Python, the CoDrone EDU is a top coding companion for kids in a range of grades.
As drones continue to serve as notably valuable tools within our economy, creating educational experiences around their uses, applications, and new capabilities have proven to be valuable for students. Perhaps the best part is how drone education fits under many different umbrellas and educators can use the Discover Drones solutions and curricula in STEM and CTE.
The Aerial Drone Competition is one of the most popular educational drone events in America and the CoDrone EDU is one of few drones approved for the competitions. In this blog, we’ll explain how to register teams for drone events, why the CoDrone EDU is well-suited for competition requirements, and how to be successful in each of the four piloting and coding missions.
Their two equally valuable Premium Kits are both key cogs for the Discover Drones STEAM line. They are simply referred to as the 7-pack and 10-pack and every bundle has the same drones that we’ve seen in other editions of the Discover Drones kits. What makes these ones unique, however, is that they’re catered directly to middle, high school, and even CTE students.
Drones are currently used in many key industries, like telecommunications, agriculture, construction, and security, They are even finding a home in the performing arts, and soon enough, delivery drones might even show up at your door. Therefore, it is essential for middle and high-school students to build familiarity with coding and piloting using the top educational drones.
A part of medicine, agriculture, research, and more, drones are increasingly prevalent in a wide range of fields. Therefore, it’s more necessary than ever to integrate them into STEAM education. Using these five options, children can combine drone piloting with coding, engineering, and design. They will build obstacle courses, code choreography, and have fun with STEM!
The Tello EDU drones are incredibly compact and the extensive classroom packs from DJI include accessories for launching aerial lessons in different learning environments. With the Tello EDU app, students can also program the drone’s entire flight path, experiencing an extremely relevant real-world connection between drones and coding or they can simply learn to fly it.
Integrating the arts with elements of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics often means that students can access more opportunities to think creatively and discover their passions. As STEAM solutions become increasingly prevalent in schools, including in arts and humanities classes, we’ve pinpointed eight of the most helpful tools for your theater students.
Almost every student today has their own unique passions, different levels of excitement for some academic subjects, and evolving preferences when it comes to studying from just books, learning from hands-on experiences, attending college, or entering the workforce. Thankfully, with all these new options, education leaders have actively updated school CTE offerings.
Ready to fly into STEAM classrooms as the next huge thing in educational drones, the RoboMaster TT packs a pretty big punch. Kids can program it in a variety of coding languages and it comes with additional tech features that help to make it valuable throughout middle, high school, and even up into higher education. So, let’s take a look at what makes it a great option.
