VEX AIR Classroom Bundle
The VEX AIR Classroom Bundle is built around a different idea: You don't need one drone per student to teach drones effectively. A large number of drones flying simultaneously can create a crowded airspace and reduce instructional value. Designed specifically for indoor classroom environments, VEX AIR operates at a maximum altitude of 8' (2.5 m) and should not be used outdoors, helping create a safer and more controlled learning experience.
The VEX AIR Classroom Bundle keeps all students engaged, even when they are not actively flying, by supporting engineering, computer science, and CTE learning goals. At any moment, students are participating in one of the following activities:
- Controller Only Activities
- Flight training in the simulator
- Code writing with VEXcode
- Code testing in the simulator
- Drone and Controller Activities
- Live drone flight
- Autonomous code flight
This structure keeps the classroom active, focused, and safer.
