In this advanced 10-lesson course, students will delve into the exciting world of machine learning and robotics using Python and Raspberry Pi. They will start by learning about integrated circuits and advanced circuit designs through hands-on projects. For example, in the first week, students will implement an LED matrix to cycle through images, numbers, and letters. In subsequent weeks, they will work on creating a 4-digit counter using a 7-segment display, understanding and implementing attitude sensors with DC motors, and setting up matrix keypads for stepper motors. Each lesson is designed to build on the previous one, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of machine learning applications and robotic control systems. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to create their own smart robotic car, integrating various sensors and components to perform complex tasks. For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.

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 AICode101 4WD Smart Car for Raspberry Pi ($99) from this link: https://www.illum.ai/products/aicode101-4wd-smart-car-kit-for-raspberri-pi.html.
and two 18650 batteries (or 4) and a battery Charger:

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
