NextWaveSTEM Curriculum Exploration of Drones: Coding with Tellon (Grades 6-8)

Students explore and apply how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) are used and function and will develop an understanding of how drones function and the real-world purposes for which they are used.

This course uses Scratch based coding. Hardware required. Includes 15 lessons.

Optional: Add 8 Tello Drones

In this course, students explore and apply how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) are used and function. Through a series of activities that support inquiry and hands-on learning, students will develop an understanding of how drones function and the real-world purposes for which they are used.

• Skills Overview: Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Analytical Thinking, Sequential Thought Process, Directional Concepts, Visual Tracking and 2-D to 3-D Correspondence
• How it Works: Flying has never been so fun and easy! Using the DroneBlocks application, the drone runs through commands that students program in the app.
• Key Benefits: Help students experience STEM through hands-on activities and experiments while challenging them to think critically, solve problems effectively, and acquire the skills needed to enter STEM-related fields.
• Technical Support: Comprehensive technical support is available throughout the entire year of the curriculum, ensuring that educators and students receive timely assistance with any technical issues related to the equipment kits.
