Poster 1: Code, Create, Fly: Elevating Learning with Drones and Programming

Are you looking for a way that coding can literally take off in your classroom? In this high-flying session, we’ll explore how drones can become powerful tools for creativity, problem-solving, and real-world computer science applications. From safety and setup to selecting student-friendly drones, you’ll gain foundational knowledge to confidently bring drones into your learning environment. But the real magic begins when drones meet code. Discover how block-based programming and advanced text-based languages can power autonomous drone flights, challenges, and missions. We’ll walk through hands-on coding platforms and explore engaging project ideas that blend STEM, storytelling, and design thinking. Whether you're flying inside the gym or outside on the field, this session provides practical, ready-to-implement strategies to take your classroom to new heights!
