Codable drones offer elementary students an engaging, hands-on way to develop their problem solving skills through exploration and experimentation. Students see immediate real-time results with their coding decisions.
Codable classroom drones, help elementary students become more confident, curious, and capable learners.
Instead of fearing a mistake, students will learn to persevere and solve the problem. Mistakes are opportunities to continue to learn and improve. Students will be encouraged to analyze and adjust. Students must debug their code and refine the code when things do not go as planned. Students will be challenged to solve a specific path, avoid obstacles, complete tasks, etc. They will also learn various ways on how drones are useful tools for rescue teams and much more. For example, students will also implement geometry, measurement, mapping skills, angles, distances, speed, duration, etc.
Students will also work together in a group setting with co-pilots and collaborate. They'll be given real-world scenarios (once we start "missions"), and students will use collaboration and communication, as well as critical thinking. Finally,
