Age Suitability: Upper Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, Key Stage 5
Delivery Locations: England, Scotland, Wales
Workshop Summary:
Learn to safely code and fly Drones during our interactive and hands-on experience day!
Students will learn to code the flight patterns of their drones using block programming or Swift coding language (used to develop apps on iPhone and iPad). They'll provide algorithmic instructions to their drone to make it take-off, land, do flips and somersaults, as well as navigate different altitudes and distances to make its way safely around a course.
As part of the session students will learn about the principles of flight and will develop an understanding of how physics plays its part in enabling drones and other aircraft to take flight. They'll then get to see and feel some of these principles in action whilst flying their drones.

Year 9 students at Kew House School work collaboratively to plan and code a coordinated drone dance as part of the drone dance-off challenge.
See the outcome of the students coding with their drone dance.
