My Project

During 8th grade, computer science concepts students learn all about Python. What's better than programming Python online? Coding drones to fly through obstacles! I'm asking for donations to purchase two CoDrone EDU drones. These drones will be flown using a remote as well as through programming Python.

Engaging my 8th-grade students with drones better prepares them for high school.

Most of my 8th-grade students apply for the HS STEM Academy. Having a background understanding of Python sets them up for better success. Your help is appreciated.
