Drone Coding

Category:

Coding & Programming

Grade Levels:

(Grades 4-12)

Final Projects or Artifacts:

Students will complete a capstone project that requires them to code a drone to navigate through an obstacle course. This project will simulate a real-world scenario, such as search and rescue missions or agricultural surveying.

Program Requirements:

  • Instructor access to SmartBoard or Projector
  • Student Accounts Created Prior to First Session
  • Laptop 1 per student (ex: Chromebook; Lenovo)
  • Codable drones
  • Access to Droneblocks app or https://droneblocks.io/#Curriculum
  • General Stationary - Ex: Pencils paper pens

Program Description:

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of block-based coding through hands-on learning with drones. Students will learn how to program drones to execute basic and complex maneuvers, employing software like DroneBlocks. The course aims to help students understand the basic principles of coding, computational thinking, and real-world applications of drone technology.
