What Your Students Will Gain?
By the end of this 10-session training, students will be able to:
- Understand Core Electronics & Sensors:
Gain a solid understanding of how electricity flows, how essential components work, and how gesture-related sensors (like accelerometers or motion sensors) detect movement and direction. - Program with Arduino IDE (Blocks & Code):
Learn how to program the gesture-controlled car using beginner-friendly block coding and transition into basic Arduino programming to control motors, LEDs, and sensor responses. - Apply AI-Inspired Interaction Concepts:
Use simple sound and motion-reaction techniques to make the car respond intelligently to user gestures, creating interactive and engaging robotic behaviors. - Build a Complete Gesture-Controlled Car:
Assemble the car from scratch—mounting the chassis, wiring sensors, connecting the motor driver, and programming it to move forward, backward, left, and right using hand gestures. - Strengthen Logical Thinking & Problem-Solving:
Use conditional logic, flow control, and testing strategies to improve accuracy of gesture detection and refine the car’s movement. - Showcase a Fully Working Robotic Project:
By the final session, confidently present a functioning gesture-controlled Arduino car, demonstrating engineering skills, coding ability, and teamwork.
