03/What you’ll build

Light-Seeking Robot Car

The same idea JOVE trainers teach in the Young Makers workshop for Grades 3–5 — “Circuits & Smart Machines” — boxed so it can be built, broken and rebuilt at home.

  • Circuits
  • Logical thinking
  • Block coding
  • Problem solving
  • Collaboration
  • Explain how electricity flows in a closed circuit and what a switch, sensor and motor do
  • Build a light-seeking robot car that follows a torch
  • Write a block-based program to guide a rover through a maze
  • Spot AI in daily life — from face unlock to recommendations
