Building self-driving robots teaches how sensors use detection, how code processes that information, and how engineering combines hardware and software to create machines that can navigate on their own.<\/p><p>Adventurers will design and program their own autonomous robot vehicles that sense their environment and make driving decisions. Students build working robots while learning to program sensor responses through visual coding, from detecting obstacles to navigating paths without any remote control.
