Prepare the electronics in advance

Students are coming to the class. Make sure each workplace has all the hardware prepared and set up.

Batteries should be charged

Make sure the power banks are charged.

Find a way to store the hardware

At the end of the class, students will leave the classroom. If you've decided to store the sets in the classroom you should have prepared a place for the sets to be stored.

Use sticky markers to mark each student set

Each student should have a way to mark the components that are part of his/her set. Just use sticky marks.

Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI

Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.

The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.

In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.
