Tue. April 1, 2025 | 8:30 am - 2:30 pm CDT

The use of drones is rapidly expanding across various industries, presenting new and exciting opportunities for students to engage in STEM learning and develop skills relevant to the future workforce.

This hands-on workshop will explore how codeable drones can be seamlessly integrated into the classroom to foster coding skills, spark an interest in STEM, and prepare students for future tech-powered work opportunities.

During this training, participants will:

Discover the essentials of bringing drones into the classroom, including preparations, equipment, and curriculum considerations.
Code their own drone, gaining practical experience with drone programming and flight control.
Learn about critical aspects of drone operation, including terminology, safety protocols, legal concerns, and operational requirements.
Explore various drone model options to make informed decisions for their educational setting.
Receive a Robolink Codrone to implement their newfound knowledge and continue drone exploration beyond the workshop.
