From parts on the table to a flying DEXI-5. 🚁 Students build it, then can fly or code it. What would your class do first? #STEM #PX4

This is so cool! No GPS. DEXI-3 hold its spot indoors. Check it out: instagram.com/p/DfC8SheupZI/ #drones #stem #robotics #px4autopilot

How does a drone know how high it is? A rangefinder sends a pulse that bounces off whatever's below. Fly over a box and watch the distance change. What would your class use height data for first? #PX4 #STEM

DEXI-3 is stacked with tech, including a Raspberry Pi. It runs any Python your students learn in Hover Lab. What would your class code it to do first? #PX4 #EdTech

Tag Hop mission in Python! Take off at tag 1, climb to 2 meters, hold for 2.5 seconds, fly to tag 3, then backwards to tag 2. DEXI finds each AprilTag with its camera, so there's no GPS and nobody on the sticks. Try the DroneBlocks today 👇 my.droneblocks.io/trial?utm_… #STEM #px4

Who you gonna call? 👻 Don't let the ghost slow you down. Hold a steady and grab those pumpkins! Deliver them as fast as you can. What's your class's best time? 🔗 droneblocks.io/curriculum/gr… #STEM #EdTech

Dinosaur Rescue 🦖🥚 One of our Ground School missions involves finding 9 eggs and landing on the pad. Students learn real flight control before they even touch a drone. #stem #drones

🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸 Imagine five DEXI-5 drones holding formation in the open air. No GPS! Built by hand, coded by students, flying autonomously. This is what the future of STEM looks like. #STEM #robotics

Pick your platform. DEXI-3, DEXI-5 and DEXI-10. Start where your students are, then watch them level up. Teachers, which is your classroom's starting drone? #edtech #px4

Building drones has never been this fun. Build from modular, solder-free parts so students have full ownership of the mission. Build. Code. Fly What does ownership look like to you? #PX4 #STEM

Dexi says arm. Dexi says take off. Throttle down. Gotcha! Four students played "Dexi Says" online. It's drone Simon Says. Miss a command or move without "Dexi says" and you lose points. Who'd top the leaderboard in your class? #education #STEM
