Raleigh Hills K8, Tech Arts hasn't added a story.
Physical computing combines coding in a text-based language with creating devices to use in real-world applications. Our project will be to learn the basics of Python while applying physical computing elements of sensors and cameras to create an automatic camera that can capture images of wildlife (birds at the bird feeders, rabbits in the garden boxes, etc.) by using the motion sensor.
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor and uses a standard keyboard and mouse.. It is a physical computing device that enables students to explore computing, prototype circuits and learn how to program in Python. Python is one of the top 5 text-based programming languages used in programming.
Currently the school has 9 kits. We would like to have a 2:1 ratio with these so students can pair program when using the Raspberry Pi. Some MS classes have up to 33 students in them so we would like to purchase 8 more kits plus some added sensors and cameras for a wildlife photography project. This project will impact 160 MS students that come through the computer lab as part of Raleigh Hills Tech Arts class.
I am asking for funds to purchase the Raspberry Pi kits which include the motherboard, memory card, and power cord. As well as the Raspberry Pi cameras to use in Python programming projects. I will be using PTO Technology funds to purchase motion sensors and misc. supplies for this nature photography project.
Budget:
Raspberry Pi CanaKits 8 @ $42.99= $343.92
MicroSD cards 8 @ $6.80= $54.75
Raspberry Pi Cameras 17 @ $13.49= $229.33
Total Dollar amount Requested: $628.00
Thank you!
