Our Goal
Introduce your kids to the exciting world of coding & electronics, all while having fun and playing games.
Smart & advanced
Race track
During the workshop, we will build a smart race track for HotWheels™ cars with sensors, screens and various electronic components.
Watch our smart track in action
Unique kit
Shipped to you
We have developed a unique kit for this workshop and will deliver it directly to you!
The kit includes genuine HotWheels tracks and cars, 3D printed parts, and various electronic components (Learn more)
What will we learn?
Lesson list
1- Building the track
In this lesson we will review the parts included in the kit and build the racing track.
2- Hello Arduino
The heart of our racing system is a small computer called Arduino, we will learn how it works.
3 - Programming intro
We will dive into the exciting world of programming and install the software we will need during the workshop.
4- Opening the gate
Our first programming task will be opening the gate once the race starts.
5 - Traffic light
It's time to learn how to program LED lights in order to turn them on and off.
6 - Adding Sound
We will be adding some dramatic beeps and melodies during the start of the race.
7 - LCD Screen
In this lesson we will activate our LCD screen and display messages during the race.
8- Start button
We will use the button sensor in order to start the race.
9- Finish line sensors
Time to learn how to use the infrared sensors located at the finish line.
10- Announcing the winner
We will use the 7-Segment displays in order to show who won the race.
11- Remote start
We will add an option to start the race remotely by using a remote control.
12 - Counting rounds
We will learn about variables and use our new knowledge to display the round number on the screen.
13 -Showing winner time
We will improve the code so it will show the time it took the winner to complete the race.
14 - More upgrades
We will load an upgraded code to arduino that will include some improvements and new game features.
We Believe in
blurring the lines between learning and playing
While your child builds their very own smart race track, they will learn the fundamentals of coding and dive into the exciting world of physical programming.
The goal is to build a fun and exciting game. We believe that learning through playing is the most effective way to learn new skills.
Scratch coding for kids
Fun and engaging programming
Scratch is an engaging drag & drop programming language developed by the M.I.T Media Lab.
Kids learn coding fundamentals through a fun and engaging drag & drop experience without the syntax complexity of regular programming languages.
