Drones for High Flying Creativity and Computer Science

Tue. May 5, 2026 | 9:00 am - 3:00 pm CDT

Take learning to new heights with drones! You’ll complete a series of missions with your CoDrone EDU to learn how to fly safely and confidently, program it for autonomous flights, and complete authentic tasks that simulate real world use. We’ll demonstrate how drones are used in a variety of careers as we combine coding and flying into a day of fun and learning. We’ll also demonstrate more advanced drones and their value to creative photography and videography projects that truly put the A in STEAM education. Along the way we’ll explore drones in careers, FAA safety rules and regulations, the pilot certification process, curriculum options, and purchase decisions. You’ll walk away with a solid understanding of drones and how to incorporate them into your STEM, CS, or Multimedia Arts program. Your cost of registration covers a CoDrone EDU that you get to take back to your school. Please bring a laptop, your cell phone, and either a charging block or any device with a USB port for charging your drone’s batteries.
