MBot is a versatile educational robot platform developed by Makeblock that is specifically designed for teaching kids programming, electronics, and robotics concepts in a fun and interactive way. It’s based on the Arduino platform, making it accessible for beginners while offering advanced capabilities for more experienced users. mBot comes in different versions, including the standard mBot, mBot Ranger, and more. It usually consists of components like motors, sensors, LEDs, and wheels that can be easily assembled.
The mBot is equipped with drawing tools like markers, and participants use coding to instruct the mBot to create specific patterns, drawings, or even abstract art on a canvas.
The mBot needs to follow the correct path, avoid dead ends, and reach the exit. This event encourages participants to develop their logical thinking, coding skills, and understanding of sensors for navigation.
The Arduino Garbage Bin Opener is a project that involves using an Arduino board along with sensors and motors to create an automated system for opening and closing a garbage bin. This project can have various purposes, such as improving hygiene by minimizing contact with the bin’s lid. The system could be triggered by motion sensors or touchless sensors, allowing the lid to open automatically when someone approaches the bin, and closing after a certain duration or when the person moves away. It’s a practical project that introduces concepts of sensor integration, motor control, and automation using Arduino programming.
