What is Python?
This is a curriculum-based program that teaches computer science skills and the Python programming language in a team setting through hands-on use of a Tello EDU minidrone. After utilizing the curriculum in the classroom or after school, students can showcase their skills and accomplishments at *Aerial Challenge Days, competition events where student teams work to solve progressively more difficult challenges.
