Drones

Air:bit is a drone kit for the BBC micro:bit which you build, code and then fly. Note: This kit does not include the micro:bit Air:Bit combines the micro:bits ease of use with the excitement of a drone. It is the world's first ever developed micro:bit drone, combining the relevant skills for mastering the future of technology. It is a STEAM learning kit, which will engage students with a more practical and creative way of learning. It is fully repairable and withstands a lot of crashes. The best of all - it is affordable comparing to other drones, With the Air:bit, it's possible to add a camera. This way you can use the Air:bit to take pictures and even do FPV flights. Make:code or java-programming Programmable remote and app Advanced measurements in real-time Upgradeable for multiple sensors Air:bit in education Air:bit is a true STEAM learning tool. As a teacher you can dive into following subjects: Physics: Electronics, electromechanics, aerodynamics, acceleration and gravity Math: Geometry, functions, scale factors and vectors Technology: Bluetooth, telemetry, data logging, lithium battery technology Arts: Design a drone frame using materials like wood or 3d-printing. Invent your own flying machine. Programming: Blocks, Javascript or Python Air:bit is also perfect to conduct experiments where data logging is needed. You can collect data like temperature, battery voltage and acceleration in real time and store it for analysis in spreadsheets. Data logging can be done using the Android App or another micro:bit. You are in control Choose between 3 methods to pilot Air:bit: iOS app: Use the micro:bit app for iPhone or iPad  Android app: Use our Android app, made with MIT App Inventor  Another micro:bit: Use another micro:bit and its motion sensor, buttons and screen to remotely operate your Air:bit using ergonomic motion.
