Security at a low cost without sacrificing effectiveness.
I started by wanting to get into voice recognition so I used python to make a program that would listen for a keyword and when that word was said it would give me back a response, and when the Makerfaire was proposed I decided to take it further by using a combination of voice and facial recognition to activate an Arduino which then would turn a servo, in turn unlocking the door.
La création de jeux de société pour promouvoir la langue française dans notre communauté scolaire.
J’ai commencé en regardant différents prototypes / designs de planches de crib sur Internet. Ensuite, j’ai pensé à quelques designs qui pourraient bien représenter l’école et notre communauté. J’ai dû apprendre comment utiliser la découpeuse laser “Glowforge” et comment utiliser un logiciel de design, Inkscape, afin de faire le design en fichiers .SVG. Après plusieurs essais et erreurs ainsi qu’une variété de prototypes, j’ai terminé avec trois designs uniques qui représentent notre école et notre communauté. J’ai aussi utilisé l’imprimante 3D afin de créer les bâtonnets pour les planches de crib.

I made a bboard robot that drives with the controller.
1. I coded the microbit to control the wheel.
2. I created a remote with another microbit using a radio signal.
3. I then created 3d design that the servo wheel would fit in. I had to try a few times. I added some googly eyes for a finishing touch."
Automating the survival of tomatosphere plants!
Students have, and continue, to code moisture sensors to indicate when plants need to be watered. The sensor measures the moisture of the soil and then our microbit lights up the microbit LEDs with an icon to let us know the condition. We're working on attaching LED light strips that will be even more visual to let us know when the soil is dry. Eventually, we will code to get the lights on timers to ensure our tomatoes get enough light/darkness so they grow and produce fruit. Eventually, we'd like to extend it to our hydroponics project and make our soil-plants have their own self-watering apparatus.
Mise en place d'une banque de données accessibles virtuellement sans internet dans un milieu où il n'y a ni commodité technologique, ni électricité.
Students were to create an automatic bubble blower, it turned out an automatic bubble wand contraption for students to blow bubbles.
Students learned how to code to make the motors run. Then created their prototype. Many changes had to be made with the propeller part, in the end, students choose to opt-out of the propeller part and use younger kids to blow the bubbles. Regardless, students had fun creating!
