droneskids

Tello Drone

The Tello Drone, powered by DJI technology, is a compact and user-friendly quadcopter that is perfect for introducing students to the basics of aerodynamics and coding. With an onboard camera, Tello allows students to experience flights from a first-person view, making it an excellent tool for teaching photography, videography, and even basic data analysis through image capture.

Activities:
  • Programming flight patterns using Scratch, a block-based visual programming language, to teach coding logic and problem-solving.

  • Exploring physics concepts like lift, thrust, drag, and gravity through hands-on flight experiments.

  • Capturing aerial footage for media projects or environmental studies.
