Tynker and Parrot Bundle Coding Lessons with Drones
Tynker and Parrot are offering an all-in-one bundle designed to teach kids how to code through programming unmanned aerial vehicles (or drones).
The “Parrot Mambo Code” bundle comes with a Parrot Mambo minidrone along with a six-month membership to Tynker, a game-based platform that has taught more than 50 million kids how to code.
Additionally, the Parrot Mambo Code bundle includes:
- Three introductory coding courses;
- Drones and robotics courses, like a virtual flight simulation course meant for kids with no prior experience operating drones;
- Six game design courses;
- Four minecraft courses and a private minecraft server; and
- Daily missions that emphasize safe and fun drone-flying, while also teaching programming concepts.
According to the company announcement, Tynker already has a number of coding lessons for kids ages 7-14 to program Parrot minidrones, but the new bundle is the first time customers can purchase both together for a $66 discount.
The bundle, previously priced at $215.99, is now available for $149.99 on the Parrot or Tynker sites.
