Simple project for 10-11 year old.

patkelly
patkelly over 13 years ago

I'm looking to do a project with some 10-11 year olds in a local school which uses electronics to show how they are feeling. I was thinking about a traffic light system where I can get the children to build the kit and then use it in under an hour. They would move the light to red when frustrated/mad and green for happy etc.

 

I have some of these Multicomp Nano boardsMulticomp Nano boards (1813414) which we can pre-program, and then add the rest of the part to it.

 

Any ideas would be greatfully received

 

Pat

    Did you ask the school if they would be okay with the students building lie detectors? I am opposed to knowledge suppression in all its forms. And your statement certainly set off my alarm bells. Okay…

    if they`re going to be stand-alone boards, then a 9V batt and some clips would be an idea I also looked at those LEDs and from what I can see, I think you`ll need resistors for them, 330 Ohm or there abouts…

    I second that, a massive thank you to Mr Nielsen, and everyone else who has contributed here I really can't believe the support you have all given on this.

    Hey that lie detector idea sounds interesting,

    the GSR detector is represented by two metal electrodes ?(any specific material?)

    The program does most of the work - have that gsr sensor as an analog input and read it a few times, get an average, and if it's over a certain point turn an led red?
