Build Fly Code
Educators gain exclusive access to the Build Fly Code learning program and training sessions. Our Build Fly Code system gives educators turn-key resources to guide students of all abilities through the process of building and coding drones from the ground up using FTW CODE.
FTW CODE is proprietary custom block-based coding platform that works in tandem with Hopper and is a core component of the Build Fly Code program. FTW CODE was designed with educators and students in mind and strives to make coding fun and accessible.
Blocks are designed to work specifically with Hopper, while also maintaining core functionality found in traditional block-based programming apps.
Hopper
Hopper takes Build Fly Code to the next level. Introduce your students to flight theory, mechanical design, and the basics of coding with the latest drone and sensor technology. And, because Hopper’s hardware is robust and reusable, and its software, getting smarter constantly, educators can create more opportunities, and expand hands-on STEM learning to underserved communities and students of all abilities.
Each new Hopper purchase includes one unassembled Hopper drone, spare parts, and all the necessary components to build, fly, and code Hopper.
