Fifth-grade E1 class students (ages 10–11) are developing robotic projects using an Arduino-based microcontroller and the R2-ARD:icon car. In this course, they will program the car to operate autonomously on a simulated Mars environment. The car will be designed to:   -Avoid obstacles -Stay within a perimeter marked by a black line -Stop and blink its LED light to send a message when detecting water (simulated using a magnetic field sensor)   This activity is an interdisciplinary activity part of the  "From Mythology to Space" project.   They are using the MIND+ block coding platform along with: -the Arduino UNO extension -the Greek S1 extension from STEM EDUCATION -sensors from both the R2 and S1 robotic kits from Polytech
