Technological developments are changing the way traditional teaching methods are used in the field of education. A significant player in this dynamic field is DJI, which is well-known for their inventive robots and drones. The DJI RoboMaster series, which offers a wide variety of robots and drones designed for educational purposes and other product lines, stands out among its array of instructional aids.
Unfortunately, the Chinese drone giant DJI has made a significant announcement today, stating that it will cease the sale of its major educational application product lines by the end of the year. The affected products include educational drones, AI artificial intelligence suites, and other related offerings.
DJI made the revelation through its official website, DJI Education Application, indicating that products like Tello edu, RoboMaster EP, AI artificial intelligence suite, DJI Education Platform, and AI scenario-based education solutions will be officially discontinued on December 31, 2023.
The DJI RoboMaster series, known for its diverse range of robots and drones, will no longer be available for purchase starting in January next year. The AI artificial intelligence education kit, tailored for classroom teaching in primary and secondary schools, is another casualty.
Additionally, Tello EDU, an educational programming drone that facilitates learning in graphical programming, Python, and Swift, will be phased out. Educational institutions that have integrated DJI’s products into their curriculum will need to explore alternative solutions as DJI’s educational application product lines come to an end. This decision may prompt educators to reevaluate their technology choices for enhancing classroom experiences and hands-on learning.
The DJI Education App, a comprehensive platform offering competitions and solutions such as the Mecha Master College Series and AI Artificial Intelligence Education Kit, will also be discontinued. Unfortunately, DJI has not provided explicit reasons for this strategic move, leaving users and the education community in suspense about the motivations behind discontinuing these valuable educational tools.
