TL. DR.
There are three types of cables: M-M (Male to Male), M-F (Male to Female) and F-F (Female to Female)
Why do we need these cables?
The ends of these cables are with "special" pins that allow us to more easily connect them to the driver, to the controller and to other elements and all this without soldering. See the picture below. The goal of the course is to have all of the tasks accomplished without soldering.

In the set for the Perfect Course we have 3 different types of cables. They are called breadboard jumper cables. We would need to use them to extend the default cables of the car to connect the car components to our new controller. Based on the connectors of these cables they are referred to as female to female male to female and male to male. This is the way cables are referred in our world in the engineering world. Now, why do we need them? At the end we would like to connect the components of the car with some of the components like the driver or the microcontroller that we have and these cables have some connectors at the end - some special ends that are called pins that make this very convenient. For example, if I open the cable, and now if I need to connect the driver, I could just put this pin right here and connect it. Then I can connect something else at the other end
like this and we can extend them, connect them to something else and then I could connect them to the Raspberry Pi in our case to one of the pins. And in this case without any soldering because our goal for this first module of the course is to have the whole module without any soldering we can use the cables and we can connect the different components without any soldering. So, that's the goal of these cables and that's why we are using these breadboard jumper cables.

Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI
Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.
The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.
In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.
