W211 - Drone Programming
In this fun and hands on class, kids learn to program drones! Kids first learn the basics of how to fly and control the drones. Then they will learn how to use code to control drone movements, create flight patterns, and tackle problem-solving challenges, all in a safe, supportive environment. Perfect for young beginners and advanced coders interested in technology and robotics!
Future-Ready Skills Development
Drone technology is rapidly expanding across industries including agriculture, construction, emergency services, and entertainment. Learning to program drones prepares children for future career opportunities in these growing fields.
STEM Integration
Drone programming naturally combines multiple STEM disciplines - coding (Computer Science), flight physics (Science), drone design (Engineering), and calculations for flight paths (Mathematics) - providing practical real-world application of these concepts.
Spatial Thinking and Problem-Solving
Programming drones requires thinking in three-dimensional space and solving complex problems (like obstacle avoidance or efficient path planning), developing crucial cognitive abilities that transfer to many other areas.
