High School Scholars: Our experience using RCP with students Deborah Estrin, Cameron Ketcham, and Rakhee Patel, UCLA Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS)

2 Our Introduction to RCP for Students Python/AppEngine/Android tutorials Sensing the old fashioned way: with a pen and paper Looking at the space with sensors in mind Brainstorming ideas for our own Campaign.

3 Transportation at UCLA Track how people are moving around the UCLA campus Students went out and gathered data from their own campaign.

4 Resources we have provided Ubuntu Server: php mysql ftp access svn trac Moin wiki Wordpress blog Google resources: Android AppEngine

5 Projects and Guidance Breaking the Norm WaterBusters Ketcham PEIR PM2.5 Validation Social Wireless Localization UC Explorers

6 Breaking the Norm see how people on the UCLA campus react to certain unusual and unexpected events and/or behaviors. Initially they wanted to create more of a social experiment We helped them move to more of a data visualization experiment Using audio and location data along with tags to visualize the situation

7 WaterBusters WaterBusters is a campaign to monitor where water is being misused throughout the LA County area Directly using the RCP to develop Have been updating the blog regularly: –

8 Ketcham Using the simon says game to determine user's memory recall in different situations Originally had more of a social experiment –Collecting data on age, gender, ethnicity Guided them to create a project which gathered data about the space people we in rather than the people themselves Now collecting data on location and ambient noise level

9 PEIR PM2.5 Validation validate PM2.5 values computed by the EMFAC model by comparing them to actual values measured and recorded by the UCB Particle Monitor

10 Social Wireless Localization using the wireless technology in tandem with GPS sensors to calculate the localization data for a networked group of devices

11 UC Explorers Gathering data on places around campus Directly using the RCP to develop

12 Group Dynamics Groups are very different (talk about groups? And what they are like?)
