Beginning of the prototype

Hello again!

Another work session have ended and we can now see our prototype beginning to take shape!

This week we have been working with different parts of the activity wall. On one side, the physical materials for which the kids will touch and "think" with their hands. On the other side we have been working with the technical gadgets.

• Our prototype consists of a large piece of wood as the very foundation. To raise up the wooden board so we can make holes where the children should fit the shapes, we have sawed off thicker toilet rolls. Also we are looking for good padding for the wood as well as different fabrics for the children to touch and feel.

• For the technical aspects of the prototype we have now connected the arduino board with RFID-sensors. The result was that we can turn a diode on and off with the sensor. Here is a short video showing the result:

Have a good day and see you later!
