== Project Number == 1845 == Project Title == GENI Educational Kits using Wireless Sensor Networks [[BR]] a.k.a. SENSORKITS === Technical Contacts === '''PI''': Anish Arora, The Ohio State University, anish@cse.ohio-state.edu [[BR]] === Participating Organizations === The Ohio State University [[BR]] === GPO Liaison System Engineer === '''GPO System Engineer:''' [mailto:mberman@bbn.com Mark Berman] == Scope == This project will develop easy-to-instantiate educational kits for sensor network experiments that are integrated into GENI. The project will also develop accompanying materials for training users and operators, and conduct training sessions and field studies with educational partners who adopt these kits. The kits will focus on sensor networks based on wireless and battery powered devices such as motes and smartphones used in static and mobile settings. The target users of these kits are non-expert users i.e. students and educators in the basic sciences, social sciences and engineering disciplines other than network engineering. === Current Capabilities === * A virtual machine image of our Kansei Genie sensor network management software is available from our [http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/index.php KanseiGenie Portal] website. The virtual machine image allows plug-and-play capability for deploying a small sensor network from a laptop in a classroom educational setting. * Initial lesson plans using light, temperature, and sound sensors were demonstrated at GEC14. == Milestones == == Spiral 4 == * [[MilestoneDate(SENSORKITS: S4.a GEC12)]] * [[MilestoneDate(SENSORKITS: S4.b GEC13)]] * [[MilestoneDate(SENSORKITS: S4.c GEC14)]] == Project Technical Documents == [attachment:OSU_Sensor_Kits-GEC12-BAKPAK.pdf GEC12 Presentation] Presentation delivered at GEC12.
