You can save your missions and retrieve them on your iPad to fly in the field. DroneBlocks is a fun and innovative way to teach students programming concepts using drones. Our free curriculum bundle takes teachers and students through 8 lesson plans that teach block programming with the safe and responsible use of drones. You can learn more about our lesson plans and download them here: https://www.droneblocks.io/curriculum This Chrome App will allow students to create drone programs in their web browser, save them, and then load them onto the drone using our free iPad app. DroneBlocks for iPad can be found here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/droneblocks/id1045826508?mt=8 If you have any questions or suggestions on ways we can improve DronePan please join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/droneblocks/ We are passionate about STEM and want to share DroneBlocks with the world.
