Abstract
In this unit, high school students will comprehend the concepts of solar energy and conversion of sunlight into electricity; and basic electronics, circuitry principles, and electric components like microcontrollers, resistors, sensors, and LEDs; basic programming hands-on experience to write code for microcontrollers and programming functionalities like controlling the car’s movement, and the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy on various inclined ramps, delving into scientific principles. They will understand the basics of machine learning, robotics, soldering, engage with hands-on experiences in engineering design principles, hands-on experiences starting from building car evolution models throughout a week. This unit focus to foster their self-confidence, interest, and develop a problem-solving and computational thinking skills.
