| == WTF? ==
| |
| A major [http://farnell.com/ electronic component distributor] suddenly realized that there is a huge market in the hackers and DIY community and founded a subcompany called [http://www.element-14.com element-14] to deal with those guys.
| |
|
| |
|
| To get themselfes known they talked to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman right people] and these people had the right ideas.. and now there is a hackerspace challenge.

|
| |
|
| Every hackerspace gets USD 900.- in budget free to use and there will be a finale where the 3 winning teams will earn prizes..

|
| |
|
| The hackerspaces got 6 weeks to design something that '''has a microcontroller and a portable powersource inside and can be used for education'''. | | The hackerspaces got 6 weeks to design something that has '''a microcontroller''' and '''a portable powersource''' inside and can be used for '''education'''. |

|
| This is a kind of competition but [[User:Overflo|i am]] really not a big fan of competition so i see it as a chance to make the world a better place and contribute to education today.

| | |
| | |
| | The EduBuzzer is a '''very flexible''' hardware thingie that consists of some LEDs, 4 buttons, a beeper and a radiocommunication interface. |
| | |
| | It enables students and teachers with new ways to '''collaborate, play games, have quiz shows, surveys, multiple choice tests and much much much more'''. |
|
| |
|
| ==== Current status and updates ====
| | In fact you can develop your own applications for the EduBuzzer in JavaScript and we will create a place to share your programs with the rest of the EduBuzzer community. |
|
| |
|
| See also http://hsc2011.soup.io for fresh updates / work in progress.

|
| |
|
| |
| === Goals / Features ===
| |
|
| |
| * '''electronic "RAISE YOUR HANDS" mode'''
| |
| **question from teacher
| |
| ** i think i know the answer so i press a button
| |
| ** random generator picks who is to answer / can be overridden
| |
| ** could be used for statistics on participation, and which kids need more integration based on statistics
| |
|
| |
| * '''VOTES/SURVEYS'''
| |
| ** enable to vote on a topic without raising your hand in front of the class which ultimately leads to a more honest voting behaviour
| |
| ** enables vote mechanisms that are hard to do with paper like multiple choices and ratings on preferred solutions as in "I'd like option A but if we don't get enough votes for that, option B would be my second favourite."
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| * '''GROUPWORK / GROUPGAMES'''
| |
| ** teams of pupils can be chosen by a random generator this would take the social stress off the teacher as in "i dont want to be in a group with this guy.." "..the computer has chosen ist fair"
| |
| ** games would be possible where groups compete and if a group performs better it has to let a member go into another group
| |
| ** also the opposite is possible where the best performing group gets new members..
| |
|
| |
| * '''WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE MODE'''
| |
| **if a pupil doesnt know the answer he could "ask the audience" and the kids could press what they think is the right answer..
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| * '''MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS'''
| |
| ** this will probably not be in version 0.1 as it needs a lot of work that is unrealistic to be implemented with the very short deadline of 2 months
| |
| ** teacher should be able to have a live on-stage test where the kids can answer questions with multiple choice pushbutton modes
| |
| ** multiple choice tests are not very common in europe so we need to spend research on this subject
| |
|
| |
| * '''GAMES'''
| |
| ** maybe something like the werewolf game
| |
| ** the remote choses who is the wolf and the others have to find out who it is by talking to each other on a round based system
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| * '''SCHNITZELJAGD'''
| |
| ** multiple stations are layed out around the classroom
| |
| ** students go from station to station, plug in their ibutton, push a button to put in their solution to the quest presented at this station, go to next station
| |
|
| |
| === Hardware ===
| |
|
| |
| * '''EDUBUZZER:'''
| |
| ** ATMEGA168
| |
| ** Radiochip
| |
| *** Idea: For prototyping, it might be better to use a ZigBee (e.g. XBee) -> more robust comms, easier firmware, standard compontents. More expensive per device (>40€ per student, probably too much for an average school), but this is just prototyping.
| |
| *** Alternative: RFM12, 3-6€ per device, no adhoc-network, probably problems with two devices sending at the same time.
| |
|
| |
| ** 9V battery, later a lipo pack
| |
| ** 4 buttons
| |
| ** 5 RGB leds
| |
| ** iButton reader
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| * '''BASESTATION:'''
| |
| ** Arduino
| |
| ** Shield
| |
| ** USBhub+usbstick for software
| |
|
| |
| === Software ===
| |
| * firmware for the basestation
| |
| * firmware for the edubuzzer
| |
| * dummy edubuzzer emulator for host software development
| |
| * host software portable! maybe QT ? maybe a local server (java?) + webfrontend?
| |
| * HTML/JS webapp running on teacher's laptop (see Frontend)
| |
|
| |
| === Frontend ===
| |
| * Frontend specification see [[HSC2011/FrontendWireframes]]
| |
| * HTML/JS webapp running on teacher's laptop
| |
|
| |
| === Enclosure ===
| |
| * easy to manufacture
| |
| * laser + acryl or similar
| |
| * needs a prototype made from playdoh for production first :)
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| === What are the benefits, what is completely new?===
| |
| * realtime statistics for the teacher
| |
| * competition between teachers
| |
| * fair choice by random generator or some clever algorithm instead of the teacher always picking the same guys
| |
| * not being bullied for being a smartass for raising your hand all the time
| |
| * not being bullied for NOT raising your hand very often..
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| === Things to think about in later versions ===
| |
| * accupack
| |
| * buzzers stick together by magnets so no suitcase is needed
| |
| * all buzzers can be charged at once when together by magnets
| |
| * loader in a suitcase hat can be connected to a walloutlet
| |
| * optional plugable parts (keyboards,mice..)
| |
| * countdown when answering a question
| |
| * optical/accoustic/vibration feedback
