Challenge of School Year 20/21
Challenge of School Year 20/21
In the remote control car challenge, the students construct their own dream car. Starting with an old shoebox, the students use reusable cardboard screws and, if needed, tape and glue. Two servo motors are used to power the car. A micro:bit will be the brain of the car, getting directions by interacting with a second micro:bit, our remote control. After the first test run, additional features can be added to the car and each group creates a unique look for their vehicle. A reverse gear? A self-driving car using distance sensors? Headlights and rear lights? A fire engine? Everything is possible!
After 3.5 hours the participants have built an armada of different cars and the workshop is finished with a race.

To the right, you can see our challenge cards for the remote control car workshop. With their help, the participants learn the basics of programming with the micro:bit. The challenge cards include programming principles (such as sequences, loops and conditions) and program building blocks, as well as instructions for the sensors and actors we use in the workshop.
