This course introduces students to the exciting intersection of coding and drone technology using RoboLink platforms such as CoDrone.
This course introduces students to the exciting intersection of coding and drone technology using RoboLink platforms such as CoDrone. Students will learn how to program drones using block-based coding, controlling flight patterns, sensors, and real-time responses. The course covers fundamentals such as basic flight commands, loops, conditionals, variables, and sensor integration, while also emphasizing safety and responsible drone operation. Through hands-on activities, students will develop problem-solving skills as they design and execute autonomous drone missions, gaining experience in both programming and robotics.
The final project can include: An Autonomous Drone Mission – A coded flight routine where the drone completes a specific task (e.g., obstacle course, delivery simulation, or pattern flight). A Code Walkthrough and Explanation – A written or recorded explanation of how the code controls the drone’s movement and logic. A Debugging and Iteration Log – Documentation of challenges faced during coding and how they were resolved. A Safety and Flight Plan Guide – A student-created checklist and plan outlining safe drone operation and mission preparation.
