Tired of Students not knowing what to do with light sensor values?

Tired of them not knowing which is bright value and which is dark?

Introducing the Light Value Visualizer!~

With this nifty program, the students can see the intensity of the light using the value bar and the current light sensor value, to record the light values!

No more annoying beeps-and-boops of the Try-me! programs.

And with the push of the buttons, record the light sensor values! (Yeah.. no more bending over)

Super useful in tight spaces where you cant see the screen!

 

Press the Left Button to record the Dark value

Press the Right Button to record the Bright value

Press the Orange Button to Reset the Recorded values

 

Available for download HERE!

Snapshots will be uploaded soon, so stay tune!

Many students from SPD participated in this workshop, aided by our volunteers, making this a huge success!
By involving the students in this workshop, we believe that it will contribute to their growth as creative, socially adept, confident and well-rounded individuals.

This workshop is held in collaboration with Tribal Studioz, and supported by Infocomm Accessibility Centre & Juying Primary School. The volunteers are students from Juying Primary School as well as Robo Academy.

Below are some pictures taken during the workshop.

So what are you waiting for? Come volunteer with us and do your part for the community!
