What data is collected by your website?
-
Data privacy is important to us, so our lesson portal, which is called Basecamp, is COPPA and FERPA approved. Our lesson portal does not require a login to access content. Account creation is optional. We only collect anonymized usage data that is helpful for improving our product, not for advertising. For example: which lessons are visited most, which lessons are completed the most, which coding blocks are used most frequently, which errors are occurring. We are not collecting data for advertising purposes on our lesson portal.
For information collected directly from user input, we adhere to collecting the minimum amount of information needed for creating an account. Only a username and password are required for all users. Only users 13 and older are asked to provide an email for verification.
Importantly, students under 13 are required to have a teacher or parent create their account. Teachers and parents are prompted to avoid using personally identifiable usernames, such as using full names or birth dates.
Visit the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for Basecamp for full details about our lesson portal.
Our business site, which is our online store, is geared towards adults and purchasers. This site does have advertising. However, we do not link to the business site from the lesson portal. Students are never asked to go to the business site.

How can I purchase professional development?
-
You can head over to our professional development page (PD) to purchase PD hours, where we'll help with training you on how to get started with our kits. We'll also walk you through where all of our resources are, how we would recommend managing a classroom, how to troubleshoot and do maintenance with our kits, among others.
For all orders that include a classroom package, a free pre-recorded onboarding session is included and will be emailed to the purchaser on record. If you haven’t received the link to the onboarding session, please contact your purchasing department

Where can I see the lesson plans?
-
All of our lessons are located at Basecamp. You can choose which robot you're looking for lessons about, and then you can click on "Teacher Resources" to access all of the lesson plans for that robot. For example, here is the CoDrone EDU page on Basecamp.
You can also click into a particular lesson, and use the "Lesson Plans" button to view the lesson plan associated with that particular lesson. Think of the lesson on Basecamp as the student-facing content, and thelesson planas the accompanying lesson plan to help the instructor or teacher plan for the class. Here's the "Lesson Plans" button for the CoDrone EDU lesson about Hover and Trim.
You'll find a lesson plan with objectives, guiding questions, goals, materials needed, and a 5E Format lesson plan. Towards the end, you'll find standards alignment for Common Core and NGSS.
