My Project

The Buzzing Brain aims to transform the traditional classroom question-and-answer dynamic through the integration of technology and tactile engagement. At its core, the project features a series of custom-designed buttons, each individually wired to a central interface and powered by a reliable battery source.

Each student or group will have their own dedicated button, ready to "buzz" in when they know the answer.

The central interface, designed with a clear visual display, will register which button was pressed first, bringing a sense of fairness and competition to classroom participation. To add a unique, personalized touch, each project will incorporate teacher-designed stamps or stickers, showcasing their individual style and creating a connection between the project and the instructor.

This combination of interactive buttons, reliable battery power, and personalized teacher embellishments creates a dynamic learning experience that encourages active participation while acknowledging the role of the educators in fostering knowledge and excitement.
