What you'll learn: Drones, flight, accelerometers, gyroscopes, LEDs, color sensors, obstacle detection, sound, block coding, text-coding

The CoDrone EDU (JROTC edition) is a programmable drone, meant for learning in the classroom. It's the JROTC edition of our flagship drone, the CoDrone EDU, created specifically for JROTC funding requirements requirements, which you can read more about here. Code it in Python or start from the basics with block-based coding. Unique to this drone are its color sensors, a front range sensor, a bottom range sensor, among others—all usable in code. With a durable and safe frame, programmable lights, and access to its 7 sensors, it's an excellent learning too and a great way to learn coding and engineering skills.

This is a great bundle for a small classroom. It includes 18 drones with additional accessories and professional development to make sure you're confident using it in the classroom on day 1. We recommend 2 students to 1 drone, with a drone or two for the teacher. This is a great set to purchase for a class of 15 - 30 students.
