Self-Driving Car

Guided Hackathon
Overview

This hackathon is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the technology

behind self-driving cars. It will cover a range of topics from basic Arduino programming to
advanced machine learning models and image processing techniques. The aim is to equip
students with the knowledge and skills to develop a prototype of a self-driving car.

Objectives

• To introduce the fundamentals of Arduino hardware and programming.

• To develop skills in building and controlling robots via different communication methods.

• To understand and apply Python programming in machine learning and image

processing.

• To create a functioning model of a self-driving car using live image data.
