Using CoDrones, the aim of this project is to teach others about basic programming concepts through changing the behavior of the drones with block coding.
CoDrones are small and simple drones that are designed to be programmable in various languages including block coding and python.
The Technology Ambassador Program at GGC strives to break the misconceptions of the IT field by providing fun workshops for students of all backgrounds. TAP students design engaging and fun outreach workshops to encourage interest in IT and STEM.
Outreach Activities:
- Classroom Workshops on Apr 14, Apr 20, and Apr 20, 2020: workshop demo to 1001 level IT students at GGC, to spark interests in IT and STEM
