What Hacker News says
2 sourcesThis is so awesome. A handful of other Stanford students and I entered a Node+AR Drone hackathon in SF[1] a while back and we had a blast.
We had so much fun, in fact, that we integrated AR Drone hacking into the Robotics Club. This started as a few friends messing with 2 drones and its grown to the point where I'm actually teaching NodeJS, Javascript+Coffeescript, a bit of Unix, and various algorithms to 35+ students fresh out of Stanford's Intro to Computer Science course! (Its still mostly the basics, but I've been writing up & posting lesson info here http://drones.johnback.us/).
I'm very excited with what the various AR Drone communities have created so far. The popular Node library[2], a Go implementation (in progress) by the same author[3], and this Clojure option[4] are all amazing avenues for teaching interesting CS languages
