About the Lesson

Students use a mixture of geometry, trigonometry, statistics and algebra to build an algorithm to turn the TI-Innovator Rover into an autonomous self parking vehicle. This activity can also be used in more senior level mathematics classes by increasing the focus on the statistical implications and applications.
