STEAM Thru Drones: Droneblocks Programming for the 21st Classroom
Abstract: Our current initiative is STE(A)M thru Drones teaching teachers to introduce drone programming to students of rural areas with lack of exposure to unmanned aerial systems. Coding with drones using DroneBlocks allows students to take the sky by force and learn computer science skills with drag and drop drone programming. In DroneBlocks, students take to the skies and learn computer science skills with drag-and-drop drone programming. The programming utilizes the latest and easiest-to-fly mini drones, with step-by-step web-based instructions as students work through the basics of programming, culminating in exciting STEAM challenges that test skills in coding and collaboration.
