10 CodeBug Projects in 10 Days

The codebug is a lovely tool for encouraging children to learn to program. Cameras and GPS locators are beyond it's capacities at the moment.

Try getting  a Pi camera and a GPS module working with your Pi2, maybe you could make a project with that and convert it to a Pi A+ (smallest format of Pi).

You would also need some kind of mobile telephone dongle, to transmit the information from the GPS.

I am fairly new to the community and have been trying to learn as much as possible. I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 2 and have been learning Python. As I am a father of a soon to be two year old daughter, I am interested in the educational aspects of the codebug, but more importantly I'd like to explore the safety and security applications.   I'm wondering if there is a way to connect to a small wearable camera, in the event (god forbid) something bad were to happen, the camera would capture pictures or possibly video that would be very useful. If a camera is not possible, then maybe a small GPS locator could be attached and I would be able to know were she was. Unfortunately,  the world we live in is not the safest and things can happen when we least expect it. When she is a bit older, I plan on teaching my daughter all about programming and hopefully sparking an interest in technology, the codebug would be a wonderful tool to get her started.

It sounds really Good Jan!

Where are you living ?

My son's school is not currently having an innovation programme but I would love to setup one, using the CodeBug. I am seriously considering getting some kits myself in order to start such a programme, as the school does not have the funds, but I am myself just a hobbyist, with a without a great income, so I need to save up for it.

A Simple lie detector can be implemented using codebug, as the legs are capable of sensing the electronic currents passing through the body

I would use this device to create lasting memories with my son.  We would go over the examples, then brainstorm some new ideas and when he was ready I would help him use this as the center piece of his 2016 science fair project.  I love to program and I would love to get my son involved in programming because it helped me a lot in high school and I think it would help him.

My address is updated, and I would love to post some projects using the CodeBug. My children will be excited to use visual programing instead of all the typing.

Smiling thinking to a Stadium or some thousand of people that use their CB instead of the lightener

Its a nice idea it will be like a Boolean algebra calculator.

Something I'll be interested in doing is trying to generate a PAL/NTSC Video on one of the legs and displaying either a graphic or ASCII String terminal using this device. maybe even connecting a ps2 keyboard and making a 1970 style teletype video terminal.
