Overview

A classroom drone built on the open Crazyflie flight stack, with the unusual twist that student Python runs on the drone rather than on a laptop. The camera and TensorFlow Lite accelerator make it one of the few current, in-production indoor drones for learning computer vision and machine learning. Firia launched it in June 2024 alongside a guided curriculum aimed at grades 6–12.
