LAB ACTIVITY Century #Coding & Computational Thinking
Skills
Lab Activity: �Build a Virtual Line-Following Robot�
l Tools: Arduino IDE (with simulator like Tinkercad Circuits or VEXcode VR).

l Task: Program a virtual robot with two IR sensors to detect a black line on a white track and follow it.
l Steps:
1. Open Tinkercad and create a simple robot circuit with Arduino + 2 IR sensors + 2 DC motors.
2. Write a simple “if-else” code: if left sensor detects black turn left, else if right sensor detects
black turn right, else go straight.

3. Run the simulation to test.
Outcome: Students understand the difference between machines and robots by programming autonomous
l
decision-making.
