MakeKit Air:bit 2 Drone Class Kit - 6 Pack

This class kit bundles six Air:bit 2 drone kits for BBC micro:bit, giving students a hands-on way to build, code and fly their own drones as part of a STEAM program.

Air:bit combines the approachable micro:bit ecosystem with drone flight, helping students explore coding, engineering, aerodynamics, batteries, motors and creative fabrication. Drones can be controlled with code, an iPad or Android app, or with a programmable controller built from a second micro:bit.

Note: micro:bits are not included as standard with this kit. The supplier recommends 2x micro:bits per kit: 1x micro:bit for the drone and 1x micro:bit for the controller.

The platform can also be extended with a camera and sensors, opening up projects such as image capture, FPV and more advanced autonomous flights. Students can even design and fabricate their own frames using a 3D printer, laser cutter or other classroom tools.

Features:

• Make:code or java-programming
• Fly using a programmable remote, using a 2nd micro:bit, and app (iOS and Android)
