Project 5 - Smart Bin

Meet Smart Bin, a simple yet exciting project where your child builds a dustbin that opens its lid automatically when someone comes near it. No buttons, no touching — just clean, smart sensing.

With the help of a IR sensor and a microcontroller, your child will learn how everyday objects can become “smart” by detecting movement and reacting instantly. The moment a hand approaches, the lid lifts on its own — and closes again once the hand moves away.

Smart Bin is a simple, practical way for your child to understand how sensors, motors, and basic electronics work, and how technology can make daily life easier and more hygienic.
