- PROJECT #1: CAN YOU BEAT THE SYSTEM?
This idea stemmed from my interest in the criminal justice system. Many criminals are not what you would expect and the negative stereotypes around incarcerated peoples have a huge impact on their lives. Our project would be informative and interactive by encouraging the user to play games and participate in polls that feed them back information. For example, there would be questions on the screen asking what that specific user thought the answer to a question, perhaps a statistic. The user will choose or write something and the project will determine if they are right or wrong and provide them with the right answer. We hope to target communities that don’t always deal with a lot of criminals but have the potential to influence the incarcerated and wrongfully accused lives.
2. PROJECT #2: WHICH IS WHICH?
this project would be a teaching game for children. Using Proccessing, several shapes and colors will be displayed on the screen. The child will have several games they can play, including to drag an item to the correct label or name and they will build up points. Every game could be a different level. One could be like the bouncy ball going around the screen and the child would have to count how many of the balls were a certain color to get the point. The arduino will have controllers that can move objects on the screen as well as could light up and make sounds to show what level the child is on and react whenever the child gets something wrong or right. This will be a more interactive and encouraging way to get children to learn.
3. PROJECT #3: MUSIC HISTORY TEACHER
It’s time for everyone to learn ABOUT music. This interactive device will allow people to discover the unknown. You never know what you don’t know! The user will be able to click on a type of genre from processing and have it play from the arduino. There will be a variety of artists of both genders for each genre in order for the user to truly grasp it. They user will be able o choose what artist and song from each genre they can play. This product is meant for people who are looking to expand their interests and aren’t satisfied with the music they have to listen to right now. This product is a way for people to find more of what they like too.
