A classroom-ready digital experience for grades 5–8.

The Egyptian Expedition™ is a fully digital, browser-based drone coding curriculum where students apply math, science, and computational thinking to explore ancient mysteries and fly virtual drones through an interactive Egyptian landscape. No physical drones are required. No experience is needed. Every student becomes a pilot, a coder, and a problem-solver.

This program is included free with STEM Fundamentals and FPV Initiator, or can be purchased separately as a stand-alone digital offering.

What is the Egyptian Expedition?

Eight missions. One ancient mystery.
Students follow in the footsteps of a long-lost explorer, uncovering clues, decoding messages, and programming their way through a series of progressively challenging drone flight tasks. Each mission combines storytelling, STEM learning, and real-world coding skills in a fully immersive simulator.

Students will:

Learn block-based drone coding in a structured environment
Navigate virtual airspace using third-person and first-person simulator views
Use metric measurements and real-world planning strategies
Solve spatial challenges using drone movement, altitude, and orientation commands
Work independently or in teams to complete mission objectives

Designed for Real Teachers

The Egyptian Expedition is a standards-aligned curriculum developed from the ground up for classroom instruction. It is delivered entirely through the Drone Legends Educator Portal (DLEP) and includes:

Digital lesson plans and assessments
Step-by-step teacher guidance
Mission-by-mission planning tools
Downloadable student resources

No software installation is needed. Runs smoothly on Chrome, Windows, or Safari.

What Makes It Different?

100% digital. No drones, batteries, or hardware needed.
Easy onboarding. No prior experience required for teachers or students.
Self-paced or teacher-led. Use it in a lab, during a block schedule, or in enrichment time.
Engaging and academic. Students learn by doing, coding, testing, and adjusting flight paths inside a 3D simulator.

Mission duration is flexible. Most schools implement it over 8–10 one-hour sessions.

Standards-Based by Design

Egyptian Expedition meets or exceeds national benchmarks:

Common Core (Math, ELA)
NGSS science practices
ISTE digital skills
Computational Thinking through CSTA frameworks

Missions build vocabulary, reinforce math and geometry concepts, and teach real-world problem-solving using coding logic.

Who It’s For

Ideal for:

Grades 5 through 8
Public, charter, and private schools
STEM teachers, tech coaches, and media center instructors
Classrooms with access to student Chromebooks, MacBooks, or Windows based PCs (no tablet support as of 6/1/2025)

No licenses. No apps to install. Just open your portal, press start, and watch your students learn how to code like engineers and think like explorers.
