Curve blocks. Stacked. Rotated. Repeated. โ๏ธโจ
That's all it takes to build a 3D umbrella frame!
Watch the whole thing come together arc by arc.
One type of block. Endless shapes. ๐งฎ๐

We didn't pick Mars because it looks cool. ๐ช
We picked it because it's real, it's relevant, and it puts students in the middle of the most exciting autonomous flight story happening right now.
Real code on a simulated planet.
Explore it today ๐

The autonomous systems industry is growing fast. ๐
The people it needs are engineers who understand drone hardware, flight controllers, and autonomous mission code.
DEXI students are learning all of this in high school.
See what DEXI teaches ๐

What if your school crest lit up the sky? ๐โจ
Drone lightshows can display shapes, text, and formations, fully choreographed, fully yours, and the kind of school event that rocks!
See what's possible ๐

Students don't just fly on Mars, they work through a full mission curriculum and build real programming skills along the way.
Tackle 7 sections. From basic geometry to autonomous code with functions and loops. ๐ช
Take a look ๐

DEXI-5 might look like a kit but it's so much more! ๐ ๏ธ
DEXI-5 is a full drone build, real aerospace hardware, autonomous missions designed by the student flying it.
This is what serious STEM looks like.

Summer coding camps are great in theory. ๐
In practice, keeping students engaged for a whole week is a different story.
DroneBlocks solves that.
Palm-sized hardware. Real flight. Genuine excitement. All week long!
Check it out today ๐

June is here. ๐
If you've got a summer event this month, like a graduation, this is your sign to do something nobody sees coming.
A drone lightshow is clean, choreographed, and leaves people talking for months.
See what's possible ๐

DroneBlocks Simulator doesn't care about term dates.
It works from anywherei. All it needs is a browser and a student who wants to keep flying.
If you want to keep students flying over the summer, check this out๐

School year's nearly done. ๐ซ
Which means right now, somewhere, a curriculum coordinator is staring at a blank planning doc for next year.
Put DroneBlocks on the list. Drones students code, fly, and love.
Future you will be glad you sorted it now ๐

The entry point for coding a Mars drone mission? A browser tab. ๐
No hardware. No mess. No excuses.
The Mars Simulator let's students Design flight paths and create code for a drone on a planet 225M km away.

Meet DEXI. Studnets build the hardware from scratch, code the custom computer vision, fly it and capture aerial footage. ๐ ๏ธ๐ป๐ฆ
The future of aerospace isn't waiting for graduation. It's already in flight. ๐ฅ๐

You know the look your students give you... ๐
When they code their own tools that makes a tiny robot fly!
It's not excitement. It's disbelief, then pride, then the immediate urge tell their friends.
Bring that look to your classroom? ๐

Summer events are coming. ๐
Fireworks are loud, smoky, and everyone's seen them a thousand times.
A drone lightshow? Syncronized to music, fully programmable, and awesome! Bonus, you can run these indoors.
Your school event deserves an upgrade ๐

Imagine being the student who built this drone. ๐
Not flying one someone else made. Weโre talking:
๐ ๏ธ Solder-free modular assembly
๐ง PX4 Autopilot integration
๐๏ธ Optical Flow indoor positioning
๐ป Python & ROS2 coding

What does a successful STEM program look like? ๐ค
Students engaged, skills that transfer, hardware they actually get their hands on. ๐
The Crazyflie ticks every box, and it's already running in schools just like yours. ๐ฏ

Ever wonder how a massive drone light show actually works?
Students write flight paths, sync LED transitions, and time choreography to the millisecond. Hit RUN and dozens of drones lift off in perfect harmony.

๐ชง No GPS. No problem.
Watch the DEXI-5 holding position using only it's camera and an AprilTAG (a printed visual marker) with zero satellite signal.
Just another reason why DEXI-5 is a flying STEM lesson.

May the 4th: Talk drones, not droids. ๐
Imagine students choreographing light shows in the night sky with code they wrote themselves. No green screen, no CGI, just pure STEM magic.
Thatโs not science fiction. Thatโs a Monday.

Another Mission Report has dropped!
Three trucks on Mars waiting for help. One drone, a yaw sweep, and a celebratory flip at every find. ๐๐ช This is what reusable functions look like in the wild.
