UX Design: Hardware Interface for Education (2016)
Hardware and UX Design as part of Intel Labs and Intel Maker Group.
Invented and led interdisciplinary development of a software tool called “ConnectAnyThing.” This was a mobile programming interface for Intel's Maker-oriented hardware development platforms. This design was shortlisted for the IXDA Interaction Awards, Empowering category.
Using the unique capabilities of the Intel Galileo board (RIP), the software broadcast a Wi-Fi-hotspot and web control interface to the user's phone or tablet. Users could see hardware inputs to the board change in real-time, directly control the output pins, or calibrate sensors and map relationships between sensors and actuators.
This software underpinned much of Intel's educational outreach for the Intel Galileo in K-12, with workshops and curriculum built in partnership with Sparkfun Electronics, Intel Computer Clubhouses, and the San Jose Tech Gyrls.
