Firia Labs CodeAIR Fly with Python Drone Kit

A programmable drone that teaches Python, flight and machine learning. CodeAIR is a small quadcopter that students code in Python through Firia Labs' CodeSpace platform. They start by lighting LEDs and work up, mission by mission, to autonomous flight. It is light enough to fly in a classroom, and the code runs on the drone itself.

What's included

• 1 assembled CodeAIR quadcopter
• 1 rechargeable 600mAh battery (charges over USB-C)
• 1 USB-C cable
• 1-year floating license to the Fly with Python curriculum in CodeSpace

What students learn

• Python programming, from first lines of code to autonomous flight
• AI and machine learning: an onboard accelerator runs TensorFlow Lite for real-time object and pattern recognition with the built-in camera
• The sensors, electronics and control code behind stable flight

Onboard hardware

Color camera, accelerometer/gyroscope, barometric altimeter, magnetometer, laser range sensors and optical flow sensor. About 55 g and 130 × 130 × 35 mm.

Good to know

• Best for: grades 6 and up, 1–2 students per kit; CS, CTE and robotics classes
• License: curriculum access is annual; renewals are sold separately. Code and the CodeSpace editor stay available if the license lapses.
• Ships separately from other items in your order.
