Welcome to CoDrone EDU, the revolutionary educational platform that equips students with the tools to learn coding and robotics. This state-of-the-art drone kit is specifically designed to excite, educate, and ignite the curiosity of the next-gen of programmers and engineers. Programmers can utilize various coding languages, such as CoDrone Blockly and CoDrone Python.

The CoDrone EDU is a programmable drone, meant for learning in the classroom. Code it in Python or start from the basics with block-based coding.

Unique to this drone are its color sensors, a front range sensor, a bottom range sensor, among others—all usable in code. With a durable and safe frame, programmable lights, and access to its 7 sensors, it's an excellent learning too and a great way to learn coding and engineering skills.

Why Choose CodeDrone EDU for Student Learning? 

CodeDrone EDU is a game-changer in the world of educational robotics. Here are some compelling reasons why it stands out as the preferred choice for students: 

• Hands-on Learning Experience: CodeDrone EDU is a hands-on, interactive learning experience that allows students to get real-world coding experience by programming their own drones. This hands-on learning not only improves their coding talents but also builds problem-solving and critical thinking skills. 
• Engaging Blockly Programming: With CodeDrone Blockly, students can embark on their coding journey without the complexities of syntax. Its graphic, block-based programming interface simplifies coding principles, making them approachable even to novices. 
• Python Programming Advancement:  CodeDrone EDU provides Python programming to students seeking more advanced coding expertise. Python is a popular and adaptable programming language and learning it through drone programming adds a practical layer to their coding skills. 
• Versatility for All Skill Levels: Whether your students are novices or seasoned coders, CodeDrone EDU caters to all skill levels. The platform's progressive learning approach ensures that learners can grow at their pace, fostering a sense of accomplishment and confidence. 

• Cross-Curricular Integration: CodeDrone EDU seamlessly integrates with various STEM subjects, including mathematics, physics, and computer science. This interdisciplinary approach enriches the learning experience and showcases the relevance of coding in multiple fields. 

Codrone EDU Programming Languages 

• Codrone Blockly: For newbies, Codrone Blockly is an excellent starting place. Its block-based programming interface allows students to easily develop programmes by dragging and dropping code pieces. Learners may quickly master coding fundamentals and build spectacular drone manoeuvres using this straightforward technique. 
• Codrone Python: Codrone Python gives up a world of possibilities for students who are ready to take on a coding challenge. Python's text-based programming gives the drone more freedom and control over its activities. Students may let their imaginations run wild by designing complicated code to conduct various flight patterns and activities.
