We're working on finding all of the grants that can help you get Robolink products into your learning environment, and once we have all of that in a beautiful blog post, that will be updated here. In the meantime, I just found a huge list of STEM grant opportunities and grant writing services on the STEMfinity website. They're one of our distributors, and we trust and love them.
Like Wes said, if you need help or have any questions, please let me know!
@phossenlopp Yes you can! That lesson is available here. Just so you're aware, apparently Codebender (our workaround for Chromebooks) has been going through library issues, so instead of using <> around a library, please use "" instead.
Also on YouTube if you're not a Facebook person!
@dbergman I just emailed you with this response, but I got in touch with the Korean team and this is what they said:
From the Korean team:
It depends on people's phone brand. Is he only having an issue with one drone or multiple drones? If multiple drones are having a problem, it might be that the phone is not supported well. If only one drone is making that issue, the CoDrone board might be broken.
@brianchilders That's great to hear! Thank you for letting us know, and if you have any questions, you can always post in the forum.
@brianchilders We received them but are still packaging. We are hoping to send them out on Wednesday.
@brianchilders Our suppliers had a shipment delay and were able to send everything out yesterday. We should be getting everything to our offices by the end of this week and will be able to send Zumis out from there. It looks like you're in the US so you should be getting yours a week later.
@brianchilders If all goes well, Indiegogo orders are going out in mid-November. We'll keep you updated!
One more thing! LittleBits has a guide to STEM funding that is available for download here.
@dawsonedu Thanks for the information ---that's all great to know. We're looking forward to the footage!
@dawsonedu This is great! We have a lot of teachers trying to incorporate real-life drone usage into their lessons so I'm sure they will be very excited to hear about what you're doing.
Apologies if you discussed this in the curriculum, but how do the students know where they are flying their drone to? Are there set locations in the classroom, maps that they're using, or something different?
Also, you have some cognitions listed. Are those educational standards and if so, are they for your school, city, or state?
Good call with having them start with the Blockly! I think it will lead to less frustration. I can also look to see if we have anything about drones in agriculture on our end and if we do, I will pass that along to you.
Thank you for letting us know about this! If you ever have the chance to take videos or pictures of everything in action, we would love to see them!
