Code a rover to avoid obstacles with block-based coding or Python in micro:bit

This exploration is for teachers or upper-level students new to robotics or coding, and/or micro:bit microcontrollers. Learners will experiment with the 3 parts of a robotic system: Sense, Think, and Act using a small rover outfitted with light sensors, a distance sensor, and a micro:bit controller. After learning the hardware and basic coding structure, learners choose a challenge (such as obstacle avoidance or light-seeking) and code their rover to navigate it.
