Step 1: Build

First, let’s build our smart garbage bin prototype with the building blocks and robotic components from the Climate Action Kit:

Step 2: Code

Next, we’ll follow a tutorial to connect our smart garbage bin to the computer and download some starter code to make it work!

Let’s Code!

SUCCESS CRITERIA

I can:

  • build a smart garbage bin prototype using the Climate Action Kit
  • explain how the bin detects its fill level
