DroneBlocks has always stood out out amongst its STEM peers thanks to the excitement, and engagement a Drone brings into a classroom. However, the real advantage of DroneBlocks is that it goes much, much further than just handing students a toy Drone or robot. DroneBlocks has built an amazing catalog of STEM Programs, each consisting of cutting-edge hardware, specially developed software, and curriculum – all in one place. Our extensive course library is in-depth, fun, and easy to digest…it’s hard to find anything quite like it anywhere else. That might be because our Curriculum team is world-class; our courses are created by a revolving door of industry professionals, leading researchers, and master educators – all of whom have a burning passion for technology and the next generation. 

Here’s a brief overview of DroneBlocks’ many programs, each of which is tailored by experts to the needs of Educators and Students alike.

Autonomous Drones Level II

This Program contains everything you need to bring coding concepts to life in your classroom. This bundle features our all-new micro drone from Sweden, the Crazyflie, is designed for incredible durability and advanced sensor technology to maintain position indoors with a high degree of accuracy. These drones are complimented by our flagship Block Coding App and Simulator. It is great for getting middle to high-school-aged students off the ground and introduced to more advanced languages such as Python.

Autonomous Drones Level III 

This Program features the all-new DroneBlocks designed DEXI the Drone for Exploration & Innovation. The ultimate autonomous research and development drone, designed from the ground up with STEM education at top of mind. DEXI is a fully programmable and customizable drone that students can build from scratch with 18-minute flight times. DEXI introduces a groundbreaking all-in-one PX4 flight controller that integrates optical flow sensing for hyper-accurate positioning for indoor and other GPS-denied environments. DEXI allows students to integrate 3rd party sensors and servos and is also capable of carrying a payload. The onboard computing capabilities allow you to unlock unlimited possibilities with object recognition and detection. DEXI also uses fully NDAA-compliant electronics for your peace of mind.

Quadruped Robotics 

This Program features the Unitree GO2 and allows you to harness its capabilities in a way you can’t experience anywhere else. Our in-depth curriculum, authored by a leading MIT Researcher, allows advanced students to master the complexities of autonomous robotics while learning Python, OpenCV, C++, and ROS.
