My passion projects and works-in-progress
I built this visual aid for the Buffalo Maker Faire held in May 2018. This display was used to educate visitors about air quality in their zipcodes.
Visitors would enter their zipcode and find out what the air quality looks like where they live.
The visual aid was built using an Arduino Yun to celebrate World Arduino Day.
I am a member of the Sensor Sea team at Altschool. The team’s mission is to identify sensors that could be used to collect data from the physical space. One such project was the Student Behavior Tracker. I built this RF receiver that is installed inside each classroom.
We gave one fob to each educator to track specific student behavior:
The three buttons on the fob were mapped to three behaviors. Whenever the student exhibits a specific behavior, the educator presses the corresponding button. The button press is received by an RF receiver installed inside the classroom. The parsed information and the timestamp is recorded to a spreadsheet via IFTTT.
At the end of the day, a report is generated for educators:
I was a member of the Sensor Sea team at Altschool. The team’s mission is to identify sensors that could be used to collect data from the physical space. One such project was Beats. It makes use of an Arduino Yun and a boundary microphone. It runs OpenWRT Linux and the microphone is plugged into the Yun’s USB port.
It records data throughout the day and simultaneously uploads the data to a local cache. This video shows how educators make use of the collected audio data:
