Bundle of 8 CoDrones + Engineering Design Kit + Annual Support

For use in Upper Elementary and Middle School, grades 3–8, course “Drone Engineering & Design Challenges,” by NextWave STEM.

In this course, students explore the fundamentals of drone flight, engineering design, measurement, and iterative problem-solving. Through hands-on challenges, learners build, test, measure, and refine creative solutions while programming and piloting CoDrones in real-world scenarios.

Skills Covered: Engineering Design Process, Coding & Computational Thinking, Measurement & Data Analysis, Collaboration, Creative Problem Solving, Structural Design, and Iterative Testing

How it Works: Students program and pilot CoDrones while using engineering materials—including cardboard sheets, masking tape, graph paper, cardstock, wooden craft sticks, dehydrated marshmallows, and more—to design structures, obstacle courses, and flight challenges. Tools such as tape measures, pocket scales, mini desk fans, and safety glasses allow students to test aerodynamics, measure distance and weight, and analyze performance data in an interactive classroom environment.

Key Benefits: Students engage in hands-on, project-based learning experiences that combine flight, coding, and engineering design. Through collaborative challenges and real-time testing, learners strengthen STEM competencies while building confidence in innovation and critical thinking.

Technical Support: Comprehensive technical support is available throughout the entire year of the curriculum, ensuring educators and students receive timely assistance with equipment setup, coding implementation, and classroom integration.
