DroneBlocks: EdTech Drone Startup Reaches Another Milestone as It Becomes a STEM.org-Accredited Educational Experience and CSTA Partner

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2021 / Rising education technology startup DroneBlocks is making a significant buzz in the educational arenas today as it reaches yet another milestone in becoming a STEM.org-accredited Educational Experience and a leading partner of the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA). The educational platform now takes its services to a whole new level as they work alongside two of the world's leading educational organizations.

DroneBlocks is a membership-based platform designed to assist educational institutions. It provides full access to all Tello and Tello EDU curriculum and software, catering to educators and allowing them to use the software with unlimited students. The rising educational hub is the best avenue for students of all ages to learn Python, JavaScript, and Blockly through programming autonomous drone missions in the classroom. Its current educational library houses over 100 activities, with new lessons being added regularly.

What makes DroneBlocks stand out is the fact that its curriculum goes well with varying age ranges. Moreover, it is conducive to students with diverse learning styles. The students will not only be able to learn science, math, and logic but they will also get to master coding through fun and practical application. To top it all off, students will learn to execute their codes on friendly drones, which they can fly indoors.

Today, DroneBlocks is proud to announce that it is now a STEM.org-accredited educational experience. STEM.org is famous for being the longest continually-operating and privately-held STEM education research and credentialing organization in the United States. Most notably, the organization is an industry leader known to have assisted the STEM movement's overall growth and proliferation.

On top of its accreditation, the rising drone powerhouse is also a proud institutional partner of the Computer Science Teachers Association or CSTA, a professional association with an ultimate mission to empower and engage K-12 CS teachers worldwide. While the platform provides exclusive universal skills and educational standards for its courses, it strongly advocates for the learning objectives of the STA K-12 Computer Science standards.

The rising drone hub provides the best starter pack for educators launching a STEAM drone program such as the necessary drones, software, curriculum, and professional development. Members of DroneBlocks are also given access to DroneBlocks Tello Simulator, giving the user the ability to explore DroneBlocks coding in a virtual learning environment or without a drone. Some of the key features for this platform include cloud-based lessons, compatibility with iOS and Android, and open-source programming.

While originally built to serve military purposes, drones have quickly taken over other fields and are now used in almost all industries, especially in education. Indeed, drones are now revolutionizing educational experiences in classrooms, and DroneBlocks stands as a strong driving force for more positive developments in the field. At present, the platform serves as the go-to solution for schools and institutions looking to engage students in computer science through the power of drones.
