DESCRIPTION:Software development is difficult! Unlike a building plan which
  can be easily linked to the visible features of the building\, it is diff
 icult to link source code to the system it represents. Beginning programme
 rs often don’t even think about the software design step - they just sit
  down and start coding. State Chart “Models” provide an alternate view
 point and facilitate a clear communication of required software/system beh
 avior before any coding takes place.\n\nIn this 2-course\, 8-week workshop
 \, we will review the basic features of state charts and show how this mod
 el can be implemented in Arduino C/C++ source code. You will construct a s
 imple line-following robot based on the Raspberry Pi Pico WH board\, then 
 learn how to design firmware that completes a basic line follower challeng
 e and enable your students to compete in a [CETA Robotics Competition](htt
 ps://www.cool-mcu.com/pages/ceta).\n\nThis training is targeted towards Gr
 ade 11/12 Computer or Electronics Engineering Teachers (Ontario TEJ/ICS Cu
 rriculum)\, and will be delivered virtually using a Learning Management Sy
 stem\, combined with weekly live Q/A sessions to verify mastery of the mat
 erial.\n\nWhen registering\, please complete all address fields\, so we ca
 n ship you a robot kit and track in time for the first session!\n\nTo lear
