This module focuses programming Tello Drones and LEGO Mindstorm EV3 Intelligent Bricks with LEGO sensors and kit parts. We use the Apple Swift Playground app v2.2 with the Tello and LEGO Minstorm EV3 module subscriptions – they sync directly into the Swift Playground coding environment.
Students have specific Tello Drone and EV3 assignments that build from their Swift Playgrounds Learning to Code 1 series of lessons.
