Grades K-2

Introduction to Drones:
Take Flight!

Early learners answer the questions, “What are things that can fly?”, “How do things fly?” and “What is a drone, and what can it do?” This course explores drones and programming through hands-on play.

Tools/Software/Technical Requirements:

Charging device with USB-A port for recharging internal battery

Grades 3-5

Discovery of Drones:
Unmanned Aviation

Students learn to operate drones safely in manual and autonomous flight scenarios and develop and expand block-coding skill sets to diversify the tasks that drones are able to accomplish.

Tools/Software/Technical Requirements:

Tello Drone and TelloEDU app

Grades 6-8

Exploration of Drones:
Coding with Tello

Students explore and apply how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) are used and function and will develop an understanding of how drones function and the real-world purposes for which they are used.

Tools/Software/Technical Requirements:

Tello Drone and TelloEDU app

Grades 9-12

Creation and Evaluation of Drones:
Coding with Tello

In this STEM course designed for 9-12th graders, students will integrate algebraic thinking and programmatic knowledge and use programming skills to navigate the Tello Drone using the Droneblocks app.

Tools/Software/Technical Requirements:

Tello Drone and Droneblocks app

 

Grades 9-12
