CoDrone EDU Classroom Package (20 Drones, Extras, PD)

Get to Know:

This is a great bundle for the classroom. It includes 20 drones with additional accessories and PD content to make sure you're confident using these kits in the classroom on Day 1. We'd recommend two students to one drone, with a drone or two set aside for the teacher. This is a great option to purchase for a class with 20–30 students or if you have a space that's larger than a standard classroom, like a gymnasium.

Use up to 15 drones in a classrom without worrying about signal interference. The CoDrone has flexible guards that minimize damage to the drone and your classroom, and it's modular enough so parts can be replaced if needed.

Coding:

Start out with block-based coding to share foundational knowledge about CS or dive right into Python, one of the most popular coding languages today. 

The CoDrone has seven advanced sensors packed into this small framework. Kids can control each of these sensors with code to detect information about the environment. They could also program the lights and sounds and indicate when they've detected an obstacle or flown above a certain height.

The controller isn't just for piloting—it can read real-time sensor data and it's also fully programmable. Use code to create your own controls, draw sensor data on the screen, or create your own applications.

A professional development course for a group of up to four is included with this package. In this course, you'll get everything you need to hit the ground running on Day 1.
