We have several programmable devices in our space: Sphero, Dot and Dash, and even BB-8. Our students love programming these tools to navigate obstacle courses and perform missions. However, nothing has made more of an impact than our Parrot Minidrones for coding with fourth grade students.

ISTE 2017: Students Put These Drones Together And Code Them

ISTE 2017: Students Put These Drones Together And Code Them | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
Robolink is debuting their CoDrone Lite at ISTE 2017. Their newest product is literally fresh out of the factory, as they just arrived in the robotics and drone company’s headquarters last week. The brand new educational drone for everyone is extremely popular. The CoDrone Lite saw 400% funding on their Indiegogo campaign that ended this past spring.

CoDrone Lite is more than just a small quadcopter drone, that idea is sooooo 2015. The super smart team at Robolink took their idea for the original CoDrone which required text based coding, and scaled it down for use in schools across the globe. Now, users can program CoDrone light using Snap. Snap is a language very similar to Block where users arrange the partially put together code pieces in ways that make sense to them, to complete whatever mission they want.

Students can now program its own drone to complete the mission given to them by the instructor.
