<\/p>\n

Over the past few years we’ve seen the rise of new, interactive methods of teaching kids of all ages the basics of coding. Whether it be Apple’s Swift Playgrounds<\/a>, Kano’s interactive toys<\/a> or Sphero’s programmable robots<\/a>, there’s a whole host of educational gadgets out there. <\/p>\n

DJI – the company that’s made its name in consumer drones<\/a> – has also dabbled in educational devices, and the latest to enter the market is the RoboMaster Tello Talent drone. <\/p>\n

It builds on its predecessor – the Tello EDU – by adding a new extension board that enables more AI applications. The new hardware also includes an open source ESP32 processor, programmable 256 colour LED light, dot matrix screen and a ToF (time of flight) sensor. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There’s also a new swarming feature for when you have multiple Tello Talent drones. <\/p>\n

The new ESP32 board offers support for Arduino and MicroPython coding platforms, and also supports Scratch offline coding.<\/p>\n

Students will be able to write custom code to change the colour and flash frequency of the LED light or create shapes and animations (like scrolling letters) on the two-tone dot matrix screen. <\/p>\n

Its infrared ToF sensor is there to offer distance detection up to 1.2 metres, enabling environment detectiona and basic obstacle avoidance. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For more advanced students – with multiple drones – there’s the ability to program a swarm of drones to fly in custom formations and maneuvers using Scratch, Swift or Python using dedicated swarm software. <\/p>\n

It has a range of up to 100m and max altitude of 30m, perfect for indoor use in large open rooms like school halls. <\/p>\n

The DJI RoboMaster TT Tello Talent is on sale now for $239\/\u00a3239. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
