Three teams work on three differentrobots to program individual tasks.The color of the markers, blue, red and pink are chosen in the increasing order of contrast. Thebelt being black in color makes it difficult for the robot to detect the dark colors such as blue.The students have to adjust the environment lighting and create enough brightness for the camerato detect the blue contrast.

Mathematics) wasdeveloped by the NSF (National Science Foundation), beginning as SMET and settling as STEMin 2001 [2]. The disciplines were grouped because it was recognized that they all emphasizeproblem solving and critical thinking skills [3]. STEM has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. Though each discipline within STEM stands apart, they are alsointertwined-for example, physics and chemistry play a role in engineering and ET, and math isstudied in all disciplines [4]. STEM does not include the arts in this grouping.STEAM (Science, Engineering, Technology, Arts, and Mathematics) is an acronym developed atthe Arts-National Policy Roundtable in 2007 [5]. The acronym adds a “A” to STEM toemphasize the importance of arts

The need for these experiences has been widely embraced,and the vehicles for achieving that goal have taken many forms [1].No single program, or even one type of program, will achieve these goals alone. A multi-pronged approach, with many different aspects is necessary to reach students [2], [3].

However, this grouping has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. STEM had been developed by the National Science Foundation(NSF) to group together these disciplines based on the common use of critical thinking andproblem-solving skills [2, 3]. The disciplines that make up STEM are distinct but linked, withthose in engineering also studying physics, chemistry and other sciences and math being studiedin all disciplines [4].

The problem that we perceivedwas that it was difficult for students to write C program code for the ARM microcontrollerbecause of the complexity of ARM technology.

to 1950’s [1] researchers started to explore this technology. Simplyspeaking, computer vision deals with the technology that mimics the capabilitiesof a human (normal) vision system. Naturally, a normal human being is equippedwith sensors for five different sensing capabilities (vision, smell, taste, touch, andhear). These capabilities are controlled by the central nervous system (brain)allowing a human being to demonstrate intelligent behavior. By default, thevision system of a human being is three dimensional and it uses two eyes thatwork as sensors (detectors) to capture images. Earlier computer vision systemused only one camera along with the associated computational platform andsoftware and therefore, it dealt largely with two
