Hi all,

My school is going to chromebooks next year and are also maybe going to have a "coding with drones" class. Anyone know of anything like this already occurring and know what drones they use and what they use to code them with?

From the research I've done so far people recommend using Parrot Drones with Tickle but that app only works on iOS and doesn't have you actually type the code. Tynker might? Swift Playgrounds does but that is Apple too. Any insight would be lovely. Thanks crew.

We use Parrot Mini Drones but with our iPads. I am sure this isn't helpful but here is what we learned...

We tried using Tickle and Tynker but neither really worked well in a classroom model (15+ drones in the air) because of bluetooth issues. We did switch over to Swift Playground with a lot more luck!
