Mission Description
- Context: It’s important to stay hydrated on a hot day. Design a Heat Alert gadget that detects high temperature in the room or outdoors and reminds everyone to drink water or take a break.
- Task: Use the Junkbot Core’s temperature sensor to monitor the ambient temperature. Set a “too hot” threshold (for example, 30°C). If the sensor reading goes above that, the device should give a warning – maybe light up a red LED and display “Too Hot!” or play a buzzing tune. When the temperature is in a comfortable range, perhaps it shows a green light or a thumbs-up icon.
- Expected Output: A temperature warning device that visibly/audibly alerts when it’s very warm. For instance, warming the sensor with your hand or a lamp could trigger a red LED and a “drink water!” message on the screen. In normal temperature, the device stays in a calm state (green light or neutral face). This teaches students about using sensors to promote health and safety.
Student Goal
Use the Junkbot Core’s temperature sensor to monitor the ambient temperature. Set a “too hot” threshold
(for example, 30°C). If the sensor reading goes above that, the device should give a warning – maybe light up a
red LED and display “Too Hot!” or play a buzzing tune. When the temperature is in a comfortable range, perhaps it
shows a green light or a thumbs-up icon.
