Texas Instruments x CoDrone EDU

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.
