Smart House: Suggested Time

This document provides instructions for an engineering challenge where students build a smart Lego house using NXT or RCX components. The house should utilize sensors to trigger actions, such as turning on lights when a car approaches. Students are instructed to build a structurally sound house with a light and driveway to fit a sensor. The document then provides example programs for ROBOLAB and NXT-G software to program the house's sensor response.
