It’s no secret that drones are a fantastic tool for teaching students coding skills. When we deliver our foundational Classroom Drone Essentials workshops, which include a coded drone mission, we use satellite image mats to create a simulated real-world environment. It allows students to step out the code, conceptualise and put their code into action. Teachers and students alike are impressed by the simplicity and effectiveness of these machine washable 2×2 meter cloth mats.

Coding drones in the real world

Over the years, we’ve organised an extensive collection of image mats, showing aerial imagery of Australia’s most iconic places. They all have in common that they are designed to bring a new level of realism and engagement to your classroom or workshop, allowing you and your students to explore a wide range of environments. 

With image mats, drone coding becomes more than just an exercise—it’s an exploration. Whether it’s to simulate an aerial drone survey, automated flying for agricultural crop treatment, or deliver lifesaving medical supplies, our mats provide a real-world simulation to develop essential skills while making the learning process relatable and hands-on.
