Programming and Teamwork with Drone Competitions!

Help me give my students a drone program to be able to enter competitions!

Ms. E Smith Tmsa Triangle Math & Science Academy
Cary, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

Our students are brilliant programmers and leaders, and they are interested in pushing their boundaries through challenges, competitions, teamwork, and coding hardware. One competition that stands out in particular is the CoDrone competition. CoDrone asks students to code and send drones through an obstacle course. Communication and collaboration between students is key. In addition to the CoDrones, I am also requesting three Lenovo laptops students will use to code them and storage bins to help organize our supplies.

These drones are essential to creating this new program!

This program will allow our students to practice coding skills using a variety of sensors, environments, and scenarios. These drones can be programmed with Python or a block-based language, are durable and safe for children to use, and are easy to fix if something were to go wrong.

This is an incredible opportunity for our students and an investment in their future. Help us grant them it!
