ABOUT THE EVENT
Animated by Edam Hbaieb and Adam Daly, and as part of IEEE DAY, the “CODE YOUR FIRST LINE-FOLLOWER” Workshop offered a necessary experience for coding beginners to the ENSI ROBOCUP challenge to learn and participate in understanding the core principles of coding a line-follower robot, an integral part of their journey towards a working prototype to participate with as one of our Chapter’s submissions to the challenge. The attendees, through hands-on experience, careful guidance, and comprehensive education around the different steps to code sensors and activate servo-motors, got to experience an interactive workshop that will build knowledge for them whether to help with what they need in this upcoming challenge or in more down the line.

EVENT LOGISTICS AND SCHEDULE
After the participants checked in and got seated, they got immersed into the workshop with a basic lesson on sensor physics, specifically photo-diodes and infra-red sensors, so they can better understand what they’re signing up for. Later they started testing basic movement when the sensor detects the black line and injecting the movement of the wheel motor when needed. Around 4 PM, the coffee break was ready to accommodate the participants who quickly returned to finalize the integration of the sensors and their code into the robot’s main program.
CONCLUSION
the training session was successful, with active participation from the students throughout the workshop. Both Edam Hbaieb and Adam Daly effectively introduced the necessary code and its principles for a line-follower robot, and the participants expressed their satisfaction with the material covered.
