Overview

Physical + Virtual AutoAuto Car

Sample Objectives

Versions available for 3rd - College Levels. This course combines 180+ hours of Python Programming and Artificial Intelligence applied to Self-Driving Car Applications. Learning is done through project-based lessons using either the hands-on AutoAuto cars or their simulated version - each student will have access to an AutoAuto virtual car.

Our online curriculum also includes several auto-graded exercises and assessments. The learning platform comes with a teacher portal for tracking and managing students' progress.

Each student license includes 180+ hours of self-guided content to help students level up at their own pace. Licenses do not expire (unused licenses can be used in the following year).

The physical AutoAuto cars make concepts tangible for your students and boost their interest and confidence in learning Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.

Learning is also done interactively with the virtual AutoAuto cars. Each student programs their own virtual car in a shared world where their cars can interact with one another. The simulated cars use the same code language as the physical cars, so students see the clear connection between what they are learning to their world around them.

This course is centered around the physical AutoAuto car, so that the purchase of at least one physical AutoAuto car is required for using this course.
