Meet CoDrone Pro

The first programmable drone for learning

Age

10 y/o +

Coding Languages

Python, Blockly, Arduino

What you'll learn
Drones, flight, building a remote, sensors, LEDs, block coding, text-coding, buzzers

This is the world’s first programmable drone, programmable with block-based coding, Arduino, and Python. It comes with a buildable Arduino-based controller, which can be coded using the Arduino environment. It's modular and can be fully disassembled. It includes 5 built-in sensors, including accelerometer, gyrocscope, and a barometer. It's a great way to get into coding while also getting hands on with building hardware.

The Original Programmable Drone Kit

The CoDrone Pro is the first programmable drone made for education. Code in Python or Blockly. The drone comes with a buildable and programmable Arduino-compatible remote as well.

Assemble and disassemble

The drone and the remote are can both be assembled and disassembled. The modularity makes it easy to replace components in the classroom as needed.

Code with blocks, Python, or Arduino

Code the drone with Blockly and Python, or you can code the buildable remote using Arduino.
