42 school children and teachers participated in this program, held in SK Sultan Ahmad Pekan.
The program embeds UMP STEM Bot module which is broadly divided into 3 segments as below:-
- Introduction to signal behavior: digital/analog input, digital/analog output
- here, students start to do simple programming instructions to light the LEDs on the STEM Bot, variations of blinking sequence,
- later move on into reading analog signals from IR sensors
- and writing signals on OLED
- Robot Movement: PWM, motor direction
- moving into the second segment, students start to to program UMP STEM Bot as a robot – time based (movement based on time), following certain routes such as forward, reverse, square, and round
- Line following robotics: line detection, junction choices
- in the final segment, students program UMP STEM Bot to follow certain routes (based on a given line track) as well as taking junctions.
