In a self-driving car, the vehicle must process multiple types of sensor Skills
data, including cameras, LIDAR, and radar, to understand its environment. The car uses Boolean
logic to make decisions such as whether to stop at a red light or avoid a pedestrian crossing. How
does Boolean logic facilitate these decisions, and what are the potential risks associated with
deep misinterpreting sensor data? Additionally, how can these risks be mitigated through improved
thinking sensor calibration and more complex decision-making algorithms?

Blink an LED with Logic

∑ Tools: Arduino Uno, Breadboard, LED, Resistor, Push Button.
∑ Task: Implement a simple logic gate using Arduino.
∑ Steps:

1. Connect an LED to Arduino digital pin.
2. Connect two push buttons as inputs.
3. Write Arduino code for an AND condition (LED ON only when both buttons are pressed).
4. Extend it with OR logic.
∑ Outcome: Students understand Boolean logic and how computing translates into physical output.
