An eight-year child has designed a smart watch is designed to study the basics of programming and 3D-design

Schoolboy from San Francisco on behalf of Omkar (Omkar) was able to create their own smart watch, called «O Watch», and вышел with this project on Kickstarter. Of course, the guy did not smyshlёny accessory engaged in the creation, as they say, from scratch. The basis of his invention, he took a set of hardware and software for the construction of simple automation systems and robotics - Arduino.

The merit of the small inventor is that he developed on the basis of «O Watch» finished an educational project for the same children, allowing to learn the basics of coding and principles of 3D-printing technology.

Smart clock is based on the core software that is compatible with Arduino. Actually the machine consists of a color OLED-display and lithium-polymer battery.



Version «O Watch», which will be delivered to participants kraudfandingovoy campaign will include a set of sensors, including a compass, thermometer, barometer and humidity meter.

To implement its project Omkar asks only 15 thousand dollars. To date, he has collected 94 percent of the required amount, and there is still 36 days of the campaign.



The main goal of the young designer finds help other children in study computer science and programming.
