What Makes CodeAIR’s Curriculum Different?
It’s more than a set of tasks—it’s a deeper dive into understanding:
👏Purposeful Learning: Each mission in CodeAIR’s curriculum is designed to teach why each step matters, from understanding sensor functions to grasping the science behind flight. Students learn more than just “how” to code; they learn “why” it works.
👏Skill-Building with Depth: Our curriculum progresses thoughtfully, with each mission building on the last. Students gain technical skills, but also a deeper knowledge of the technology at play.
👏Hands-On with Hardware: CodeAIR’s open design lets students interact with and understand the electronics, gaining insight into the inner workings of a real drone.
👏Real-World Readiness: Our curriculum prepares students to think critically, solve problems, and apply industry-relevant concepts in coding, AI, and engineering.
Equip your students with an educational journey that goes beyond the basics. Ready to inspire? https://firialabs.com/collections/codeair%E2%84%A2

Our consultancy allows us to bring industry insights directly into Firia Labs, helping students and their teachers discover a passion for coding and STEM through hands-on learning. With products like , , and , we’re making a lasting impact on how students learn and how educators teach, equipping them with the tools and knowledge they need to inspire their classrooms.
Here’s to 7 years of Firia Labs and many more as we continue to empower both students and teachers in today’s tech-driven world!
Firia Labs, proudly based in Alabama, celebrates our state’s leadership in Computer Science education! 🎉
https://advocacy.code.org/stateofcs/
As an Alabama company, we’re especially proud to see our home state taking bold steps to ensure that every student has access to computer science education. From requiring all middle schools to offer CS to increasing funding, expanding professional development for teachers, and making CS a graduation requirement—Alabama is setting a powerful example for the rest of the nation.
But the work doesn’t stop here. We must continue to focus on including more girls and students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds in CS education, to ensure the tech workforce of tomorrow is as diverse as the world we live in.
At Firia Labs, we’ve designed and developed our products to address these very needs, and we’re committed to continuing our work with Alabama—and other states—to ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn, create, and thrive in today’s tech-driven world.
Let’s keep leading the way, Alabama!
