The project’s design process placed dynamic collaboration with teachers and students at its core – collaborating with students and teachers on key project deliverables, from the initial visioning workshops, to developing technologies suited to teachers’ and student’s interest in bringing the real world into their classrooms, to the in-situ fieldwork and feedback allowing rapid iteration of session plans, data visualisations and interactive platforms. We developed and deployed an end to end technical and social solution (30+ Intel Galileo based IoT devices). Delivery of a dozen participatory design workshops with students and teachers, crossing diverse domains such as weather, mobility, performance, robotics, energy and health. Development of OFSTED-read curriculum and technology prototypes supporting over 10 use cases. Design of three web-based user interfaces for data visualisation.
