DJI Education officially launched the drone giant All in STEAM?
Following the launch of the consumer education robot Mecha Master S 1 in Mustard Mountain on March 9, DJI today launched the educational promotion toolkit of the STEAM educational robot RoboMaster EP (hereinafter referred to as EP) again, and launched supporting curriculum resources and educational services.

In addition, DJI also announced that it will hold the RoboMaster2020 Youth Challenge Conference this year. This is also the RM competition for DJI college students, which is popular among teenagers for the first time.

By constructing the teaching mode of teaching AIDS, classes, holiday camp activities and competitions, DJI has completed the closed loop of robot education from enlightenment, learning to practice.

In the age group, the coverage from 9 years old to college students has also been completed.

To this end, DJI released the brand name of "DJI Education" for the first time. "The introduction of the' ‘DJI Education' brand is conducive to promoting our programs and product propositions to a wider range of teenagers, parents and teachers." The person in charge of DJI education said.

Product form: oriented to the B-end, EP is similar to the upgraded version of S 1, but there is not much difference between EP and S 1 only in appearance, and it maintains the characteristics of "DJI" robot as a whole.

However, in terms of structure, EP can be said to be an upgraded version of S 1.

It is reported that on the basis of S 1, this EP has added several hardware including high-performance steering gear, mechanical arm, mechanical claw, infrared depth sensor, sensor relay module and power relay module.

The teaching robot in this teaching scene consists of 132 components, 50 sensors, 9 power modules and 55 programmable devices. EP consists of engineering robot and EP.

In the teaching scene, especially for students of K 12 age group, compared with highly integrated robots, modular and spliced robots have certain teaching significance, and teachers can exercise students' hands-on operation ability.

Compared with hardware configuration, open SDK is the biggest feature of EP.

According to Li Zhuoquan, product manager of EP, DJI will open the official DJI SDK to EP and support more than 50 kinds of programmable sensor interfaces.

This means that teachers and students can obtain data such as sensor module, video stream, audio stream and so on. And write programs to realize artificial intelligence APP applications such as multi-machine cooperative formation and obstacle avoidance.

In the field of education, the opening of SDK means that students have more possibilities for secondary development and creation.

Chen Hong of Shenzhen Experimental School said: "An appropriate and open interface is very helpful to stimulate students' interest in learning and cultivate creative thinking. "

In addition, EP also maintains a relatively open attitude towards third-party hardware.

Jetson Nano, an artificial intelligence chip platform, and model training and scenes on SDK support third-party open source hardware such as "Micro:bit", "Arduino" and "Strawberry Pie".

Released the content part of the artificial intelligence course in junior high school. This time, EP cooperated with East China Normal University Press to publish three sets of teaching materials "Fundamentals of Robots and Artificial Intelligence" for junior high schools.

Students have books for students and engineering journals, and teachers have books for teachers and PPT for teaching.

Wan Yang, marketing director, said that DJI Education is also developing courses in the direction of artificial intelligence for high school students.

In terms of specific teaching methods, DJI education is carried out from two aspects: theoretical education and practice.

Theoretically, through the five links of introduction, exploration, explanation, expansion and evaluation, we can learn in the fields of robotics, programming, machinery and artificial intelligence.

Among them, combined with students' engineering logs, DJI Education has set up test questions and evaluation activities for each unit, which is convenient for teachers to better evaluate students' mastery of theoretical knowledge.

In the aspect of practical ability training, DJI education adopts project-based teaching method, and improves students' practical ability through four different difficulty levels of projects: case, inquiry, cooperation and challenge.

EP provides corresponding clients for mobile phones and computers according to different teaching scenarios, supports two programming languages, Scratch3.0 and Python 3.6, makes virtual controls with Python, and interacts by itself.

Carry out the youth competition and complete the closed-loop learning of the teaching auxiliary course competition.

As the main way for DJI to enter the field of education, RoboMaster's competition mode will also shift from college students' mode to teenagers.

At the press conference, Yang Minghui, Director of Operations of RoboMaster, also announced the RoboMaster2020 Youth Challenge.

It is not surprising to launch a youth challenge in DJI.

Since last year, DJI has been experimenting with the patterns and rules of youth competitions, and held the first youth robot competition in Macao.

At that time, Wan Yang, the marketing director of RoboMaster, said in mustard that the Macao incident could be regarded as an attempt by RoboMaster to sink.

Macao's competition system and experience will also be spread to the whole country from generation to generation.

It is understood that the RoboMaster2020 Youth Challenge will continue the mature operation mode and technical rules of the Mecha Master Series, and launch a competition in the form of air-ground integration.

However, Yang Minghui said that in addition to the continuation of the competition, the youth competition has also been greatly adjusted. "Although the youth competition mainly follows the form of competition, the difficulty and content of the core task points in the competition have been completely designed according to the knowledge background of young people.

"

In addition, Yang Minghui also pointed out the relationship between the youth competition and the college competition.

According to him, 9- 19-year-old teenagers can participate in coping competitions at the school-age stage, participate in RoboMaster high school students' robot theme holiday camp at the senior stage, learn and train robot operation, and participate in university competitions at the university stage.

At present, RoboMaster2020 Youth Challenge is open to ordinary primary and secondary school students. The competition is divided into junior group and advanced group, and the school is the unit to register. At most, two teams from the same school are eligible to participate.

In terms of scale, this year's competition will cover 6 countries and regions, 30 sub-stations and 500 teams.

After the introduction of RoboMasterEP, DJI has completed the infiltration and layout in the adolescent stage.

With the improvement of education under the brand of "DJI Education", the layout of DJI in the field of education has formed a framework. Through the complete model of "Educational Hardware Curriculum Content Holiday Camp Activity Competition", the coverage of teenagers and college students of all ages has been realized.

In fact, DJI has now become a mature education field.

For the industry, is this stirring up the original STEAM education pattern, or will it bring new gameplay and shuffling? As a giant in the field of drones, DJI is no stranger in the field of education at present.

However, for DJI, education is still needed even if it costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and the new journey has just begun.
