Drones are currently used in many key industries, like telecommunications, agriculture, construction, and security, They are even finding a home in the performing arts, and soon enough, delivery drones might even show up at your door. Therefore, it is essential for middle and high-school students to build familiarity with coding and piloting using the top educational drones.

A part of medicine, agriculture, research, and more, drones are increasingly prevalent in a wide range of fields. Therefore, it’s more necessary than ever to integrate them into STEAM education. Using these five options, children can combine drone piloting with coding, engineering, and design. They will build obstacle courses, code choreography, and have fun with STEM!

The Tello EDU drones are incredibly compact and the extensive classroom packs from DJI include accessories for launching aerial lessons in different learning environments. With the Tello EDU app, students can also program the drone’s entire flight path, experiencing an extremely relevant real-world connection between drones and coding or they can simply learn to fly it.

Ready to fly into STEAM classrooms as the next huge thing in educational drones, the RoboMaster TT packs a pretty big punch. Kids can program it in a variety of coding languages and it comes with additional tech features that help to make it valuable throughout middle, high school, and even up into higher education. So, let’s take a look

With DroneBlocks, STEM educators can build on student interest in flying drones and take it further with drones they can program! DroneBlocks is a free app that is compatible with Chrome, iPad, and Android devices and provides educators with great professional development tools and resources for helping them maximize their drone and coding instruction.

DJI’s drones are great for teaching coding and piloting basics. Having long been a staple of our STEM education offerings, these drones offer unprecedented levels of excitement and a ton of educational value for students. They can literally use one tool to learn about piloting, shooting video, and coding, making the Tello EDU a great value.

These days, flying drones involves more than just controlling its height and movements with a remote control. Some more advanced drones can be programmed to complete short flights, snap photos, and show students how coding and drone navigation are related. Head inside to learn about some of the best.

Our online store is always growing and we like to think of it as a one-stop shop for all educational technology needs. Whether it’s early education or high school technology, we regularly add the latest releases or versions of existing EdTech from a lot of the world’s top vendors. We also offer an Educator Discount of up to 20 percent

There have been a few programmable drones around for a bit now, but we were recently able to add the Tello EDU drone to our store and its incredibly affordable for also being programmable. So, our next step was to take it for a test flight and see what STEM learning in the classroom would be like with this compact

DJI has intrigued both hobbyists and STEM enthusiasts with their MAVIC, SPARK, and Phantom drones, but now they’ve added something new to their offerings. Their Tello EDU drone is designed exclusively for use in STEM education and provides both teachers and students with a new and exciting way to learn about piloting—and programming!
