Coding in Motion: Robotics, Barcodes, and Teamwork

In our after-school robotics class, students bridged the gap between code and action! Using specialized robot cars, they explored how digital commands translate into physical movement by scanning specific barcodes to trigger different behaviors.
The session culminated in an adrenaline-filled race, where students cheered as their programmed vehicles zoomed across the floor. Beyond the excitement of the competition, this activity was a powerful lesson in collaboration. Students discovered that success in technology isn’t just about the hardware—it’s about teamwork, problem-solving, and the joy of hands-on experimentation.
