Programming Projects
We finished Raspberry week in coding. This is where the students got into collaborative learning groups and built/programmed a project using a Raspberry PI. The Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer that can be programmed and customized into several different types of projects. This is just a sample of what the students built.
An Amazon Alexis clone - It runs just like an Alexis, but built in with a Raspberry Pi.
A LED light controller.
A retro game emulator that played games from pac-man, space invaders, donkey kong, and many others.
A magic/smart mirror. This is a mirror that has a calendar, time, weather, news feed, and an inspiring message displayed on the mirror.
A remote control car that had a camera which was turned into a web cam and was able to broadcast what it sees on a phone or other computer. It is called the secretPi.
An operational drone that will be controlled remotely. This project required programming voltage output to control the motors and propellers.
A pirate radio. The students were able to broadcast music over FM frequency from the Raspberry Pi. We stayed inside of FCC guidelines!
There are more projects in the works!
