We are excited about a new feature that we’ve introduced in [DroneBlocks](https://learn.droneblocks.io/?fbclid=IwAR1dAg_PJQrmhs5pfh87oFSzO8CR09MOmVA3LlmGeK-2JWZK-QCFWNzU0L0)as of December, 2020: **FUNCTIONS!** Functions allow for code reuse and help programmers keep their code more organized. They also allow us to more easily share our code with others!

In this course we will be diving into different function types and how to create functions in [DroneBlocks](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.droneblocks.io%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0wx8UKXr32rcVOyjgpRf_RuJzFxQBTkGTQeg-0z54QfAz1FTMb01UrNNU&h=AT1CYhf5VWHggIPyknOQQMvLn1-J-xGdxEW5MCMOuElEoDaGFZ_9VAZP6FmWcV7G3RKQgqrtcF2Kg6ggvrzwfnkqwz2SfqbQ6NRoSFuu2L0q0S3GJKC0fxm903UbGFs4jQ& __tn__ =-UK-R&c%5B0%5D=AT3RK1PwFAA98QEf8Jf-DnW6NK_Z8Uiywz1Dlb5yYACLo2_RPG4vYlR0c2gTmRG48U1Vn9WFbtKJOoc9VXPV2GT5iVN-tqbBKxYQ6o37HiodIpd6kPC1el3OCProud8lXz2zKiDC3jIIcmv6mDGGZgSAS1g4I10DmJA). We’ll also cover several exciting function examples for controlling Tello’s flight as well as doing unit conversions. You’ll also learn how to use functions to spell words in our [Tello simulator](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.droneblocks.io%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0Vfi7srvzed2aHhEv_UTUyxWSA8yy4Z4nt5Zto0lj1XLBxQjmwmJd-zqQ&h=AT1CYhf5VWHggIPyknOQQMvLn1-J-xGdxEW5MCMOuElEoDaGFZ_9VAZP6FmWcV7G3RKQgqrtcF2Kg6ggvrzwfnkqwz2SfqbQ6NRoSFuu2L0q0S3GJKC0fxm903UbGFs4jQ& __tn__ =-UK-R&c%5B0%5D=AT3RK1PwFAA98QEf8Jf-DnW6NK_Z8Uiywz1Dlb5yYACLo2_RPG4vYlR0c2gTmRG48U1Vn9WFbtKJOoc9VXPV2GT5iVN-tqbBKxYQ6o37HiodIpd6kPC1el3OCProud8lXz2zKiDC3jIIcmv6mDGGZgSAS1g4I10DmJA)!
