School students increasingly use tablet or mobile devices to access online content or submit work, but these depend on network infrastructure. The goal of this project is to create a local content hub that allows students and teachers to collaborate, but without needing an internet connection (for example, in developing countries, in rural locations, or just to avoid the bureaucracy of school internet permissions). You will use a Raspberry Pi as the basis for a WiFi hotspot that also has a built-in educational content platform, allowing students themselves to collaborate in building the content. This could support in-browser creation of shared executable scripts (NB: check with Ian Davies), or even shared composition of a piece of digital music (extending Sonic Pi) that would be played from a speaker on the content hub.
