You could use the phone to set the username and password that the Raspberry Pi should use to communicate with the internet. Here we make the assumption that you have WiFi in your class, in your school, in your home and that you are connecting to the internet with a WiFi router.

TL; DR;
Open Robopartans BlueDot application. Go to Settings-> Connect to WiFi. Type the network name and password that the raspberry pi should use. These are the name of the WiFi network and the password for this network. Press connect. A dialogue would appear showing you the IP address.
Connect to WiFi
Open the Robopartans BlueDot application. In the application user interface there is a settings option. Usually in the upper right corner with three dots. Select Settings-> Connect to WiFi. A new screen will appear that will ask you for the network name and password.
The network name is the name of the network that you would like to connect to. The connection will be made by the Raspberry Pi, not by the phone. The phone will just ask the Raspberry Pi controller to connect itself to the network with this name.
The password is the password for this network. Specify the password.
Select Connect.
The IP address of the Raspberry PI will show on screen.
What is an IP Address
The IP address consists of four number that uniquely identifies the device in your network. Some IP addresses are unique on the internet. But this one is just unique in your network. It is the address that other machines on the same network could use to send packets to when they want to communicate with your Raspberry Pi.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
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.
