What are the device requirements for CoDrone EDU?

If you're coding in Blockly, you can use either a Chromebook, a macOS like a MacBook, or a Windows computer. They will need to have USB ports to connect to the controller. You can check out our lesson on how to set that up.
Unfortunately, the CoDrone EDU is not compatible with iPads or tablets.

For teachers and educators, there are free lessons and lesson plans available on Basecamp, our lesson portal, Blockly and Python programming. We are here to assist you bring CoDrone EDU to your classroom!

How durable is CoDrone EDU?

CoDrone EDU was designed with the classroom in mind. Flexible guards can absorb impacts and protect people and objects from damage. However, like any product, it is also not indestructible! CoDrone EDU can still sustain damage from regular wear and tear, or improper use such as crashing intentionally or falling from heights greater than 10ft. Head here to learn more about durability.
That said, almost all of the parts in the drone are replaceable, so if a part breaks, you rarely will need to buy an entirely new drone. Check out our store for replacement parts, and check out our videos on how to replace parts.
