Session description

Just like we use our senses, electronic sensors play an important role in robotics and artificial intelligence. Come explore how sensors work and ways in which they can be programmed to use as tools to detect, monitor, and communicate data such as temperature, humidity, sound volume, and motion.

Purpose & objective

The objective of this poster is to share the ways in which teacher can introduce students to physical computing with the help of sensors.
We will share the scope and sequence of our lesson plans and unit.

Key Points:
- Sensors are devices that detect and respond to changes in their environment.
- Different types of sensors include light sensors, temperature sensors, proximity sensors, and motion sensors.
- Sensors play an important role in robotics and AI by providing data which is used to make decisions and enable the machines to interact with their surroundings.
- Examples of sensor applications in robotics include obstacle detection, line following, and object recognition.
- Examples of sensor applications in AI include facial recognition, voice recognition, and environmental monitoring.
- Students will code the sensors using the micro:bit to create

Some student project examples
- Creative interactive display to showcase the importance of insects. (micro:bit)
- Using an alcohol sensor to detect ethanol production during fermentation
(rasberry:pi)
- Humidity sensor to detect floods (micro:bit)
-Voice recognition App (MIT App inventor)
