DroneBlocks

DroneBlocks creates opportunities for students of all ages to learn Blockly, Python, and JavaScript by programming autonomous drone missions in the classroom.

Sim2Real on a new level. 🚁
Sim first. No surprises. No wasted attempts. Just a student who already knows it works, taking it to the real world.
That's the DEXI workflow 👇

Long weekends are great for long trips... like Mars!🌟
Try the DroneBlocks Mars Simulator for free, it runs in any browser, and takes about 30 seconds to go from zero to flying on another planet.

This weekend is the perfect time to start 👇

Any room, any day!
It's raining. The field is off limits. The hall is booked. 🌧️
DroneBlocks lessons continue with #Crazyflie in class.

Just Internet, chromebooks, and palm-sized drones.

The programme that runs no matter what 👇

Heads up educators, this 4th of July weekend keep your eyes on the sky. 🇺🇸🚁

Drone lightshows are replacing fireworks at events across the country!
What if your students could learn to build these.

Inspired yet? Start here 👇

DEXI runs PX4. 🛸

#PX4 is the open-source flight stack used in commercial drones, research vehicles, and autonomous systems around the world.

For students, DEXI-5 isn't a stepping stone, it's the real thing.

That's a different kind of head start

End of year performances vary. 🌟
Some students play instruments. Some perform on stage.
Some write the code that choreographs a drone lightshow.

That's a showcase worth finishing the year on 👇

Don't roll the dice on STEM.
Grab a system that works. 🎯
Start with block code and grow through Python and beyond.
Watch your students see their code take flight.

Kolb's rule: experience first.
Students aren't reading about geometry, physics, or code. They setup the drones and run a show, watching it happen live.

The theory comes after, and it sticks because they've already experienced it.

Curve blocks. Stacked. Rotated. Repeated. ☂️✨
That's all it takes to build a 3D umbrella frame!
Watch the whole thing come together arc by arc.
One type of block. Endless shapes. 🧮🚁

We didn't pick Mars because it looks cool. 🪐

We picked it because it's real, it's relevant, and it puts students in the middle of the most exciting autonomous flight story happening right now.

Real code on a simulated planet.

The autonomous systems industry is growing fast. 🚀
The people it needs are engineers who understand drone hardware, flight controllers, and autonomous mission code.
DEXI students are learning all of this in high school.

What if your school crest lit up the sky? 🚁✨
Drone lightshows can display shapes, text, and formations, fully choreographed, fully yours, and the kind of school event that rocks!

Students don't just fly on Mars, they work through a full mission curriculum and build real programming skills along the way.

Tackle 7 sections. From basic geometry to autonomous code with functions and loops. 🪐

DEXI-5 might look like a kit but it's so much more! 🛠️
DEXI-5 is a full drone build, real aerospace hardware, autonomous missions designed by the student flying it.

This is what serious STEM looks like.

Summer coding camps are great in theory. 🌞
In practice, keeping students engaged for a whole week is a different story.

DroneBlocks solves that.

Palm-sized hardware. Real flight. Genuine excitement. All week long!

June is here. 🙌

If you've got a summer event this month, like a graduation, this is your sign to do something nobody sees coming.

A drone lightshow is clean, choreographed, and leaves people talking for months.
