Description

Theme: 

The use of microcontrollers is pervasive within our society. Microcontrollers, such as Arduino’s, Raspberry Pi’s, and Makey Makey’s, among others, are used by students, educators, and professionals to fulfill their needs and wants.

Challenge:

Your challenge is to build a controllable and interactive physical prototype of a circuit or system with input and output sensors to provide accessibility or safety support for a student in your class who has physical limitations. Your interactive physical prototype will ensure this student’s safety and full access to participate in your class. Your lesson must utilize microcontrollers as teaching tools for open- or closed-loop circuits, or electronic control technology. Note: You should choose carefully; microcontrollers make very effective hands-on lessons, but they can become overwhelming when demonstrating a lesson segment. Be cautious in choosing just the right amount of content for a 15-minute lesson.

Notes

• Please review the Teaching Lesson Instructions thoroughly.
