Start the school year with a STEM activity that gets students coding, flying, and collaborating from the start of the school year. In this CoDrone EDU Name Game challenge, students program their drones to spell words in the air while classmates guess the answer, building foundational programming, computational thinking, and debugging skills through a fun classroom icebreaker.
Five days, no grades, and a whole lot of drones. Whether you're running a full week or just a few days, this free CoDrone EDU camp schedule has everything you need to pull off an unforgettable summer experience for your students.
Celebrate spring STEM learning with a hands-on CoDrone EDU Pollination Challenge inspired by real pollinators and classroom creativity. In this spring-ready activity, students program their drones to travel from flower to flower, strengthen route-planning and coding skills, and explore how movement, efficiency, and energy use connect to real-world ecosystems. Inspired by Robolink Ambassador Ludyvina Gomez’s classroom innovation, this challenge blends environmental science, computational thinking, and purposeful flight in a way that keeps students engaged from takeoff to landing.
Robolink's March newsletter covers a rainbow-themed CoDrone EDU classroom activity, real-world drone career connections, and where to find us at ADC, Spring CUE, and MACUL.
Add a little color to your coding this March. In Rainbow Route: Arc to the Gold, students program their CoDrone EDU to trace a rainbow-shaped arc, change LED colors mid-flight, and celebrate with a printed success message. This layered mission keeps learners engaged while building skills in loops, timing, sequencing, and iterative problem solving.
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.
In this CoDrone EDU Conversation Hearts activity, students build drone programs using physical, heart-shaped coding commands before translating their logic into code. By planning, testing, and flying their programs, learners explore sequencing, conditionals, and problem-solving in a hands-on, low-pressure way that builds confidence and understanding.
Try a hands-on STEM activity based on a search and rescue mission, optimizing some of CoDrone EDU's features including color sensors, a programmable LED, and code that can be as simple or advanced as your students need.
Winter is here, and your classroom is about to become a bustling drone delivery hub. In this hands-on STEM activity, students program drones to complete a series of package drop-offs.
Turn your classroom into a STEM farmyard where drones use sensors and code to “harvest” colorful crops and deliver them to the Thanksgiving table.
For teachers, principals, and even district admin, Robolink Learn puts all your resources in one place and helps make it easier to understand progress toward STEM and CS goals.
