<\/a><\/a>\nAlready recognized as a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree, CoDrone EDU Plus builds on Robolink\u2019s classroom-trusted CoDrone EDU platform with front- and bottom-facing programmable cameras, object detection, and computer vision tools that help students learn how machines see, classify, and make decisions. The drone is being unveiled this month at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference in Orlando, FL.<\/p>
\nWhat\u2019s New with CoDrone EDU Plus:<\/i><\/p> \nCoDrone EDU Plus is a camera- and computer vision-enabled drone that is also built for classroom management and school privacy needs. From encrypted files to physical camera controls, CoDrone EDU Plus protects student privacy while helping educators introduce emerging technologies in a hands-on, age-appropriate way.<\/p> \n\u201cCoDrone EDU Plus is the culmination of years of experience and listening to our community,\u201d said Wesley Hsu, Chief Product Officer at Robolink. \u201cWe kept all of the things our community loves about our drones, and improved on the things people asked for. With two cameras, better sensors, privacy in mind, easier maintenance, we\u2019ve created a tool that helps students learn real-world industry skills in robotics and engineering. For example, they\u2019re not just learning about sensor inputs like cameras and distance sensors, they\u2019re learning how a drone or robot can make decisions by recognizing objects with a camera.\u201d<\/p> \nFrom the Little Drone That Did, to Redefining AI Learning<\/i><\/p> \nCoDrone EDU Plus still includes everything educators already loved about Robolink: safe, durable, fixable hardware; a stable connection for flying multiple drones; COPPA\/FERPA compliance; and a free curriculum with standards-aligned, career-connected lessons created by CSTA Fellows with classroom experience. All of Robolink's drones, from CoDrone EDU to CoDrone EDU Plus, are designed for indoor classroom use and do not require FAA certifications.<\/p> \nToday, CoDrone EDU is used in over 9,000 U.S. schools and 55 countries, and has been the official drone of the REC Foundation's Aerial Drone Competition and trusted by partners like the U.S. Army JROTC and Air Force JROTC.<\/p> \nWhy it Matters<\/i><\/p> \nCo-Designed with Educators, Built for Classrooms<\/i><\/p> \n\"We're proud to have co-designed CoDrone EDU Plus with school leaders, classroom teachers, and students,\" said Hansol Hong, CEO of Robolink. \"With every feature and lesson, educators have helped shape them alongside our designers and engineers.\"<\/p> \nThat collaboration continues this summer, as Robolink works with students and teachers to help test and co-design the CoDrone EDU Plus curriculum \u2014 with more curricula set to be available for the 2026\u201327 school year.<\/p> \nCoDrone EDU Plus will be available for K-12 schools and districts to pre-order in August at robolink.com\/plus.<\/p> \nAbout Robolink<\/i><\/p> \nRobolink makes career-launching STEM drones and learning experiences for grades 5 and up. From the first line of Python to first flight, CoDrone EDU helps students build real-world skills in STEM, CS, and engineering \u2014 supported by a free curriculum and nationwide competitions. Robolink is trusted in over 9,000 schools and partners with the REC Foundation, U.S. Army JROTC, and now Texas Instruments Education. Let\u2019s make futures take flight.<\/i><\/p> \nrobolink.com<\/a><\/p>\n
