Smart Lighting - A Hands-On STEM Learning Experience
What is Smart Lighting?
Smart Lighting is an online accessible interactive eBook designed for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Project-Based Learning. This project guides you through creating a handheld, touchscreen-controlled minicomputer that utilizes Bluetooth communication and is powered by a self-made LED shield. The Smart Lighting system is built on an Arduino Uno Rev3, which serves as the main microcontroller and communicates with a self-made minicomputer used as the handheld controller.
