They were all curiously getting closer to the track and making a special effort to predict.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134\" width=\"488\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-2-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There were very important tactics that I used in training that day. First, I asked the children as many questions as possible. In this way, they tried to think and became more curious when their answers were wrong. Secondly, I realized that I explained the subject to them as complicated at first. Sensors, Arduino\u2026 Later I realized that I had to change it and that most of the children who came did not understand it. I compared the sensors to eyes and showed that the eye that sees every line is closed, that is, if the robot sees a line on the right, it will blink to us. Seeing the progress of the robot by blinking, the children both understood the robot better and were not confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-144\" width=\"556\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-8.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-8-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e243551\/files\/2022\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-03-at-11.42.02-8-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I participated in the mamak science festival thanks to the METU Robotics Group, I wanted to place this post in the education category.
