Celebrating CTE Month Through Site Monitoring with Drones
In honor of Career and Technical Education Month, this blog highlights the Robolink Learn Python activity, Site Monitoring. Students step into the role of a professional drone pilot, programming a CoDrone EDU to simulate a real construction site inspection. Through time-based flight, altitude changes, and safe flight procedures, learners practice core coding skills while exploring real CTE pathways in construction, engineering, aviation, and technology. This lesson shows how classroom programming connects directly to workforce-ready applications and can be completed in either Python or Blockly.
