Tello Edu App is an educational game programming App designed for K12(Kindergarten to 12) to support demonstration of Tello & Tello Edu drone flying or enter a simulator interface through building block programming, while disconnecting with their drones. The most popular virtual programming games of 12 planetary missions guide students to experience fun & creativity of programming, while vivid interface designs and aesthetic layout further motivate students to explore and learn more, making learning more effective and entertaining.

#Building block programming games#
The App features 12 planetary levels, students need to assist in each game “RoboMaster” masters of the same name in the animation of the hero and heroine, programmatically drive the virtual Tello to complete each task. The knowledge and skill points and the number of level missions assigned by each planet are different. It inspires students to further learn building block programming which effectively cultivate ability of branched and nested branch structure in games. The system can also assess level achievements for students and record their learning process.  

#Programming Ability Index#
The “human”based index framework developed by ISTE(International Society for Technology in Education) and professors & teachers of Association of E-Learning,  constructs FIVE Doers, computational thinker, programmer, team collaborator, innovative designer, and digital citizen. The Twelve planetary levels of over hundred missions accompanied with operation of mobile device in practical courses help students build up their FIVE ability index through challenging each level. The level assessment system further delivers rather recognizable learning portfolio for each student.

#Flight Simulator#
Without a real Tello Edu, students can still control the virtual drone through flying simulator in the App to experience aircraft flight and build up their logical thinking ability and creativity.

#Block Programming#
Students may control real Tello & Tello Edu through logical building blocks, flying blocks, variable building blocks, and arithmetic building blocks to develop their programming ability.

# Remote Control #
Through the App the students can control real Tello & Tello Edu to demonstrate flight features as take-off/land, yaw(CW/CCW), forward/backward, left/right, up/down, and 360 degree flip stunt.

lowkey wouldn’t recommend

### 1/5 — this app is awefull

*2024-04-15*

why does this app even exist it doesn't even connect to the drones.

### 1/5 — Store doesn’t work

*2023-11-27*

Every time I try to access the store it says: 

                                  System Message:

                             Access to store Failed

Someone fix this!

### 1/5 — out dated api

*2023-10-20*

stay away from this drone. the api is outdated. even if you get the python code to run, ghe drone doesn’t behave as instructed.

### 1/5 — This sucks…

*2023-06-04*

Not only is the site’s first language Chinese or something like that so I  need to learn whatever language that is but the app is NOT EVEN MADE BY THE ACTUAL TELLO COMPANY, meaning that this app does nothing and is a SCAM.  If this wasn't made by a 5 year old on a third party website trying to make money from then at least make the first language English for an English company.

### 1/5 — Yes

*2023-01-17, version 1.5.5.12*

The app was sorta trash wouldn’t recommend to get I didnt like it too laggy and it made me eat some trash

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2023-01-17, version 1.5.5.12*

I have to use this for school.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-11-15, version 1.5.5.12*

DOESN’T TASTE GOOD

### 1/5 — Out of date

*2022-10-29*

Needs to be updated urgently for IPhone 14 pro and dynamic island. Dynamic island covers all of the block coding options
