Day 3 was given the opportunity to visit the Evergreen Circle. In Evergreen we saw a lot of the problems we have to solve with the ability we have and the technology that exists today. TF scale program invites us  to see what is on the Evergreen, what problems arise, and create a project using the Raspberry Pi to make their lives easier.

The next day we get together in a group and start discussing what most of the problems they face. after some time of our discussion, we finally found a project with the title of  Pi Light Up.

Project Outline

Pi Light Up is a combination of voice command, motion sensor and sending message. You can control the lights with your voice. and a motion sensor that detects movement around it, if there is no movement for more than 2 days, feeding the system will send a message that something “happened” in that room.

She is a tough woman. When in conversation khaddijah, one RP student asked “how old are you” and he replied, “no one can guess my age, guess ?” and I replied, “its 70 ? “, “oww, how do you know ? very smart laa,” and I replied, “I can read your mind..” and we laughed together. She reminds me of my grandmother, and I would be very happy if I can help her.
