The 11-year-old students of TEAM 3, will work on the project "Quiet Class for Individuals with Sound Sensitivity," and develop a solution for people who suffer from rare diseases that make them sensitive to high noise levels. These individuals often experience discomfort or fatigue when exposed to loud sounds, which can significantly affect their quality of life.

Using the S1 Arduino-based robotic kit, the students will create a system that continuously monitors noise levels in a classroom. When the noise reaches a level that could cause harm or discomfort to a classmate, an alarm will be triggered. This alert system will encourage students to be quieter, helping their classmates with rare diseases to feel more comfortable. The goal is to assist people with sound sensitivity conditions, such as hyperacusis or misophonia, by reducing exposure to harmful noise levels.

· 👉 If the noise level exceeds a certain threshold, the system will activate a visible or audible alarm to notify students to lower their voices.

Details:

· 👉 They used the Mind+ coding platform with the Arduino-Uno extension and the STEM-education S1-extension (https://portal.stem.edu.gr/courses/stem-ext-arduino/)

· 👉 Sensors: microphone sensor

· 👉 Actuators: buzzer

Organization:

· 👉 Students worked in teams of 3-4 during the after-school program

· 👉 Duration: 4 hours
