an educational multimedia box

HOORCH is a multimedia box for primary school students. HOORCH is a dialect saying that means something like "listen up!". It consists of a Raspberry Pi 3A+ , 6 RFID-Readers, a microphone, speakers and several LEDs and buttons. It is housed in a laser cutted box with a transparent board top. We currently have 6 games:

• a storytelling game, where kids can record stories which are then stored for their specific character
• a calculating game
• a game for learning english animal names
• an animal voice guessing game
• an animal orchestra game for learning the animal voices
• a game for learning the parts of a modern instrumental song (e.g. bass line, hi-hat, snare, kick, melody)

Folders:

• . : python program, installation file (installer.sh),
• data: audio files
• pcb: schematics, made with KiCad
• graphics: laser cutter files for box, figures. vinylcutter files for cards, graphic files for animal stickers
• docs: documentation

HOORCH was developed at the University for Teacher Training (PH Wien) in Vienna, Austria.
