Lars' oplæg:
Imagine if we could come up with a way to help developing regions grow in a more sustainable way, keeping their talent mass from fleeing out of the region they grew up in, at the first chance they get, without making the solution overly expensive - attracting all kinds of corruption and unnecessary administration.
The empiriKit is mainly based on pure HTML5 WebApps, and aims to strengthen the education on high-school level by providing easy to use simulations, exercises, external sensor readings and motor control, directly supporting the existing curricula. The software is designed to be highly portable and primary hardware chosen to be very affordable. When running solely on the Raspberry Pi, there is a Qt5/C++ and QML2 based custom made WebApps centric browser present to make usage for teachers and students as easy as possible. The core of the platform is based around Node.js with custom extensions to provide interfaces between external hardware and JavaScript in the WebApps.
Another goal of the project is to provide a very easy and accessible platform to empower entry developers to provide industrial solutions in their local regions. This can be achieved by letting everyone have easy access to the source code for all the WebApps exercises and encouraging the more technically skilled students to modify and experiment with the code to support local factories and other businesses with otherwise inaccessible technology.
*About the speaker*
Lars Gunder Knudsen M.Sc. (Civilingeniør, DTU)
Hacking all kinds of things has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. In 2001, I did my first mobile technology contract and have been hooked ever since. Recently, I was part of the team in Nokia, delivering the WebKit2 based web browser for the Nokia N9. Now, I am working on making the empiriKit a reality, using the skills I have earned to do some good in the world.
