In this advanced 10-lesson course students will explore the fascinating world of machine learning and robotics. Starting with integrated circuits and advanced circuit designs, they will work on exciting projects like controlling LED matrices to display images and numbers, building a 4-digit counter using a 7-segment display, and integrating attitude sensors with DC motors. Throughout the course, students will learn how to implement matrix keypads for stepper motors and combine various sensors and components to control robotic systems. By the end, they will have the skills to build and program their own smart robotic car, capable of performing complex tasks. For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to control and communicate with various sensors using Python coding and Raspberry Pi and smart car

Parental Guidance
Dear Parents,
Thank you for your interest in our Machine Learning in Python With Raspberry Pi & Sensors & Robot Car (level 3). This class has a lot of fun hardware and coding projects, from which students have opportunities to learn some fundamental knowledge of both modern machine learning and Internet of Things (IoT). In this course students will learn additional sensors and have an opportunity to assemble and control a robot car using both rule-based and AI based models.
This class requires a lot of hands-on experience, and can be quite challenge to some young students. It also requires a lot of involvement from parents, in particular, to assemble the robot car before class.
Besides the hardware you got in the level 1 course, you would need to purchase Freenove 4WD Smart Car for Raspberry Pi ($69) from this link: https://a.co/d/h6sOKWn.
and two 18650 batteries (or 4) and a battery Charger:

https://www.18650batterystore.com/products/nitecore-i2-charger?_pos=1&_sid=63a69d299&_ss=r
Once you get the smart car kit, please follow the instruction in YouTube to assemble your smart car before your classes. https://youtu.be/vKE2TnTQcG0
Look forward to working with you
All the best
