The fifth “Little Farmer” training camp in Longmeng Village organized a DIY activity for making “obstacle avoidance robots” to enhance the scientific literacy of teenagers and improve their thinking and hands-on abilities.
At the event, the teacher first explained the working principle of the obstacle avoidance robot and demonstrated the production steps. The children were very enthusiastic, listening attentively, filled with a desire to explore technology. They sat around a pile of parts, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.
During the production process, the children fully utilized their creativity and hands-on abilities. Some focused intently on assembling the parts, furrowing their brows and repeatedly comparing with the instruction manual; others engaged in lively discussions with their peers, sharing ideas and tackling challenges together. Although they encountered difficulties, such as incorrect wiring connections and loose parts, with the patient guidance of volunteers and teachers, the children did not give up. They kept trying and adjusting, and eventually, each crafted a delicate obstacle avoidance robot. When they pressed the start button to activate the robot and saw it skillfully avoid obstacles, the children’s faces were filled with pride and joy.
Through this activity, the children not only created their own obstacle avoidance robots but also learned scientific knowledge in practice, enhancing their hands-on skills and teamwork abilities, while planting the seeds of technology in their hearts.
