PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY
Addy Krom
Computer engineering major at Case Western Reserve University (GPA: 3.77)
Addy is currently seeking an internship in computer science and will be passing on the role of Instructor.
Addy’s Boston Latin School Faculty Advisor, Cate Arnold has described them as dedicated, reliable, skilled and passionate. Take for example, their work on developing a floor tile that captures the energy imparted by walking on it. Consider the applications of this!
Experienced in Python coding, your child can expect some wicked cool flight challenges from Addy’s protégé. Think object recognition, obstacle courses, payload lifts and more!
There are three versions of Drone & Code: rising 6th to 9th grade beginner, 6th to 9th grade advanced and 3rd to 5th grade children.
Program Curriculum
Your child will first learn about the different sensors and electronic modules on drones and controllers. Next, using Python coding, campers will tackle several flight challenges, with hands-on testing, trials, and troubleshooting that demonstrate the scientific approach. Critical thinking, teamwork, and fun are part of every day’s activities! Coding experience or not, we will advance your child’s knowledge.
Note that this summer there will be separate sessions; one for rising third to fifth grade children and one for rising sixth to ninth grade children. Counselors in Training (CIT) may apply for either one and must be rising tenth to twelfth grade students.
