Searching for the idea
I was impressed by self-parking cars and how cars can detect the distances and turn on their alarm when they get closer to anybody, so I used to make a simple parking sensor using an Ultrasonic sensor and buzzer.
1- Arduino UNO to generate signals
2- Buzzer to generate sound
3- Ultrasonic sensor to detect the distance
4- wires and breadboard to connect the circuit

Actual circuit
After I designed the circuit on Tinkercad, I started to connect the actual circuit, then I realized that I have used the 3 pins sensor instead the 4 pins, that lead me to rebuild the circuit and the code again and consume some time
Me and my colleagues used to make a waving hand using ultra sonic sensor, so we made a well known Video game character which say " some body help me!!" it was very nice and funny experience
The way that we dealt with a new component like the ultrasonic sensor for the first time at the session make me feel more confident to search and learn about any unknown component and handle it
