TCCA is one of the largest FREE EdTech conferences in the nation. Last year’s conference had over 3,000 attendees, over 120 school districts, and over 200 sessions. Our SJDS students presented last year at this conference and were accepted to present again this year! Of the 200 plus session, only five of the sessions are student-led presentations, and of those presentations, SJDS students are presenting two of them! The Drone Leadership Team Year Three-Lessons Learned and DJI RoboMaster SI-The DJI Experience are the two presentation topics our SJDS students will speak about at the TCCA 2019 Fearless Conference. Way to go SJDS!

The TCCA Conference is Saturday, October 26th, 2019 at Davis High School in Houston, Texas.

Our eighth-grade students were beyond excited when they found out that they were going to be the first students in our area to receive the innovative DJI robot, RoboMaster 1. They were even more excited to find out that there were going to be three, one for each student!

The S1 supports the Scratch and Python programming languages.

“AI technology lets the S1 recognize gestures, sounds, and even other S1 robots. Playing with the RoboMaster S1 opens the doorway to AI learning, giving you a practical introduction to the technologies of tomorrow.”

“The RoboMaster S1 is a game-changing educational robot built to unlock the potential in every learner. Inspired by DJI's annual RoboMaster robotics competition, the S1 provides users with an in-depth understanding of science, math, physics, programming, and more through captivating gameplay modes and intelligent features.”
