Your Instructor
Addy Krom
Computer engineering major at Case Western Reserve University (GPA: 3.77)
Addy is returning this summer to lead Drone & Code and in particular introducing a week of Advanced Level coding and flying!
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!
Addy is good at adapting the curriculum to the skill levels and interests of the children he gets each week. There is never a one size fits all approach. This is an important distinction because it keeps the coding/flying accessible and fun!
There are three versions of Drone & Code: Beginner to Advanced rising 6th to 9th grade, Advanced 6th to 9th grade and Beginner 3rd to 5th grade
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.

No previous coding experience is required, but children with coding experience will be challenged according to their skill level.
Games and flight challenges make the experience fun and engaging! At the end of the week, your child gets to showcase their work to friends and family.
