Self drive challenge
This interactive online self-driving challenge from Siemens can supplement robotics education in computing. It enables pupils to programme a car to drive around a circuit without a driver, the circuits getting more complex as the challenge progresses.
The theme of this challenge can be continued further in lessons by using the suggested driverless car activities detailed below. These use the micro:bit programming platform to programme robot buggies to follow a route around a fictional city, so micro:bit controlled buggies are required. Students have the opportunity to unscramble navigation codes, mimicking the way code will be used to control and steer vehicles.
