Grade 9: Line-Following Car Kit
Level up your robotics skills – build and program your own automated car
The Line-Following Car Kit is ideal for learners wanting to expand their knowledge of coding and robotics. Both challenging and exciting, this year-long course starts learners off with the fundamentals of building and testing circuits and programming in the Arduino language (a C++ derivative). Putting their newly-acquired skills to the test, learners will build and program a fully-automated line-following car.
Learners will also have access to an online platform with step-by-step video instructions to guide them from start to finish.
This course has more inputs (and possible outputs) than previous projects. It builds on the knowledge gained from creating the Automated Hand Sanitiser and the Smart Garden, so learners will first master the basics of building and testing circuits and programming in Arduino before diving into the building and programming of their automated line-following car. Those who already know the ins and outs can opt to complete additional projects during this time.
Learners’ electric circuit knowledge is furthered when they explore the use of photoresistors, relay and DC motors, 7-segment display and infrared sensors. Once completed, their car (through sensory data) can sense the track it’s moving on, determine if it’s too far left or right, and navigate itself (fully automated) to stay on the track and steer in the right direction!

- Fundamentals of electric circuits
