What are modules?

A module is like a special box that holds tools you can use to build things.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks. Each block is a simple piece, but if you have different boxes of blocks, each with its own shapes and sizes, you can build bigger and cooler things than just using one kind of block.

What's inside a module?

A module is like one of those special boxes. Inside it are tools or instructions that help you do certain jobs. For example, if you're building a robot, one box might have all the tools to make its arms move, and another box might have everything needed for it to see.

Why use modules?

Using modules is like using different boxes of blocks when you build. You can mix and match them to make something more interesting or easier to fix if something goes wrong. It’s like having a collection of superpowers, each one helps you do something special!
