Robolink, recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies has announced a collaboration with Texas Instruments (TI) Education Technology to expand hands-on STEM learning opportunities nationwide. This school year, students will be able to program Robolink’s award-winning CoDrone EDU using Python-capable TI-Nspire CX II graphing calculators. This work bridges physical computing, flight, and core math and science instruction with tools students and teachers love.
Robolink, a newer yet fast-rising force in educational technology, brings deep roots in coding, robotics, and aerial drone education, including its role as the official drone partner for three years running of the REC Foundation’s annual Aerial Drone Competition, which engaged over 10,800 students last season.
“Robolink has been a favorite among teachers and students in computer science and drone competition programs,” said Hansol Hong, CEO and Founder of Robolink. “Collaborating with Texas Instruments, we’re now opening the door to tens of thousands of math and science classrooms—making hands-on coding and flight accessible through a device that’s already on so many students’ desks. We’re proud to help schools bring the thrill and engagement of coding with drones into the core curriculum.”
“By programming Robolink’s CoDrone EDU using our TI-Nspire CX II calculator, we’re transforming how students experience STEM education,” said Harshal S. Chhaya, Product Manager for K-12 STEM and robotics. “This hands-on approach not only makes learning more engaging but also helps students understand real-world applications of coding and mathematics.”
Together with teachers, these educational technology companies are fostering creativity, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of both STEM content and the real-world technology that’s transforming industries today.
Educators and district leaders can explore the full collaboration, including a step-by-step Getting Started Guide at education.ti.com/codrone. They can find CoDrone EDU, as well as the USB cable required to connect a TI-Nspire CX II calculator to the drone, at robolink.com.
