Arduino Week 1 Activities

Activity 1

Arduino Board that was passed around as an example</a> Plugged in Arudino Board <div class='container'></div> Coding Activity Light works with the board, it also blinked Code to make it blink faster

Activity 2

Arduino code for activity 2 Sensor kit base for the Arduino Functioning temperture protopie site Protopie connect stuff More of the temperture code

Activity 3

My TouchDesigner wasn't working on the lab computer Arduino code wasn't working, so I had to troubleshoot it a bit to see why It wasn't working because I was on the wrong baud The temperture activity in TouchDesigner Skimmed this guy's tutorial videos

Research Activity

Consumer Trend Research

I looked into consumer tech trends for 2027/2028

Module 1 work. I thought the data they had was really interesting, I like that it tells you where they got their data, makes it easy to imagine one of the people who could've responded. More module 1 work I was looking at tools that seemed sort of timeless

Personas Research

Research into persona's based on Home Tech Trends of 2027/2028

Persona Activity Persona Activity 2 Created a persona based on the last 2 personas I looked into

HMI Research

HMI framework Module 1 task

Module 1 Tech Trend work Module 1 Tech Trend work 2 Module 1 Tech Trend work 3

Project Path

Project Path work, what builds up to the final design

Was looking at ideas I could use for the clock design? This one was super basic and boring so I think children would tamper with it immediately. Persona idea for my product My HMW statement. Early on I realized I wanted to do something more design related, I think most of my concept would be doable with what I know of Figma and Protopie right now, but I was thinking of adding some kind of motion sensor element that would be able to tell when you're not doing your work and that doesn't seem doable right now.

Project 1 Concept

Project 1 Concept

Creature Timer, DESIGN Path

My idea was to create a time management tool that has a little animal (undecided for now) that encourages children to do their schoolwork via light competition with their peers. By giving the children a set amount of time to work alongside a break, they can better manage their time in the classroom.
