CoDrone EDU School Package (30 Drones, Extras, PD)
The CoDrone EDU is a programmable drone meant for learning in the classroom. Students can program it to take flight with Python or start from the basics with block-based coding. Unique to this drone are its color sensors, front range sensor, and bottom range sensor, and kids can incorporate each into code. With a durable frame, programmable lights, and seven sensors, it helps in teaching coding or engineering.
Get to Know:
The bundle is ideal for school-wide implementation. It comes with 30 drones, additional accessories, and PD content to make sure you are confident using these kits in your 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 set for any school with 30–50 students spread between a couple of classes.
Use up to 15 drones per classroom without worries about signal interference. The CoDrone has flexible guards that minimize damage to the drone and the 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.
