First steps in teaching robotics with drones: Using flying robots to introduce students to coding and problem-solving

Abstract

Teaching with drones will report and reflect about a conducted educational concept using a flying robot to motivate and teach programming to students at different learning levels. It will show how to enable students to experience that programming is a form of interaction between men and machine or in this case a human-robotics-interaction (HRI). They also learn that a code is nothing else than a language which is used for HRI and apply the newly gained knowledge to a problem-based programming task.
