Firia Labs is proud to announce the launch of CodeAIR, the next-generation autonomous drone designed to bring the cutting edge of AI and Python programming into the classroom. CodeAIR is the newest member of our family of physical computing products designed to inspire students with engaging and practical STEM projects, blending advanced technology with hands-on learning experiences.

Inspiring Students with Real-World Applications

At Firia Labs, we aim to motivate students by connecting learning to real-world applications. Our CodeBot and CodeX products have already introduced countless students to computer science and engineering through engaging projects and curriculum with physical computing. CodeAIR takes this mission to new heights, quite literally, by integrating advanced AI capabilities with the excitement of drone technology.

Why CodeAIR?

Many educational drones today focus more on remote control than on coding, offering limited interactivity with simple navigation commands. CodeAIR changes the game by incorporating a neural network and camera onboard, enabling students to use machine learning models to identify objects and patterns from the air. With a CPU capable of running students’ Python code directly on the drone, CodeAIR is fully autonomous, eliminating the need for a constant radio link.

Cutting-Edge Hardware Meets Engaging Curriculum

CodeAIR’s open design allows students to delve into the hardware and software that make stable quadcopter flight possible. Learning is facilitated through a standards-based curriculum in CodeSpace, our comprehensive STEM learning platform. CodeSpace integrates project-based curriculum with a Python development environment and interactive textbook, guiding students from their first LED lighting to advanced sensor readings and motor control.

A Unique Drone Educational Experience

We believe CodeAIR offers an unparalleled educational experience. Students can log in to CodeSpace with a PC or Chromebook, connect CodeAIR via USB-C, and follow our online curriculum to bring their drone to life. From introductory projects to advanced autonomous flights, CodeAIR makes learning exciting and accessible.

Together, Let’s Bring the Future of STEM to Every Classroom

We are thrilled to introduce CodeAIR and invite educators and students to experience the future of STEM education. CodeAIR is more than just a drone; it’s a platform for innovation, creativity, and hands-on learning that will inspire the next generation of engineers and programmers.
