Virtual Maker Faire: Smart Temperature Glasses
Over quarantine, I have been creating many STEAM-based projects to keep busy during these hectic times. I read that the Maker Faire was coming back this year virtually, so I decided to enter with one of my projects.
I created smart glasses that told the temperature and depending on how hot or cool it was, the OLED display would read a suggestion for that weather reading. I used an Arduino microcontroller for the brains of the project and connected it to a temperature sensor and a mini OLED display tied together with code I wrote to make the project function.
My aim of entering the project on the maker faire website is to inspire more kids to learn about technology at home and make something with their hands. I believe that understanding technology is important and for me, the easiest way to understand something is to discover it yourself with projects.
