Overview

In this section, you will complete your first activity by working through a template notebook. This notebook lets you practice the basic movement concepts you learned earlier.

You can find the file basic_movement_activity.ipynb inside the units/3.basic_movement folder.


Using the Template

The activity notebook provides a structured template with challenges designed to help you apply what you’ve learned. You will fill in missing pieces of code, review key concepts, and write simple movement programs for your car.

Hints and reminders are included throughout the notebook, and you may revisit the example files or previous lessons at any time.

Remember — if your notebook behaves strangely or gets stuck, you can always restart the kernel.


Experimentation

After completing the guided activity, feel free to experiment in the open-ended lab notebook included at the end of the template. This is your chance to explore and try more creative movement patterns.


What’s Next?

Once you’ve practiced the basics of movement and feel confident, continue to the next section about the ultrasonic sensor, where you’ll learn one way that your car perceives the world around it.
