Scéal Scoláire
Rianaitheoir Sruthlaithe – Monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar Úsáid Uisce le Micro:bit
"Sula ndeachaigh mé i mbun an tionscadail Monatóireachta Sruthlaithe, níor smaoinigh mé i ndáiríre ar an méid uisce a chaitear sa scoil. Ach a bhuíochas le Kinia Tech agus an Micro:bit, tuigim anois an tionchar mór is féidir le hathruithe beaga a imirt!"
An Taithí
Ar dtús, bhí sé beagáinín deacair an Micro:bit a chur ar bun, ach nuair a fuair muid amach conas an braiteoir claonta a cheangal le láimhseáil an leithris, bhí sé spreagúil na sonraí a fheiceáil á mbailiú i bhfíoram.
Rinneamar an Micro:bit a chlárú chun gach sruthlú a chomhaireamh agus an uimhir a thaispeáint ar a scáileán LED.
Gach uair a shruthlaigh duine éigin an uisce, rinneadh na sonraí a thaifeadadh agus a stóráil i scarbhileog. Tar éis míosa, bhí breis is 500 sruthlú taifeadta againn inár scoil! Nuair a ríomhamar cé mhéad uisce a úsáideadh leis seo, bhí sé scanrúil! Chuidigh an tionscadal seo linn oibriú lenár gCoiste Scoileanna Glasa chun feachtas a thabhairt isteach maidir le caomhnú uisce.
Buntáistí a bhaineann le Kinia Tech a Úsáid
don tionscadal seo
Easy to Use for Beginners
The Micro:bit and MakeCode were simple to understand, even for those of us who had never coded before.
Real-World Impact
Seeing actual water usage data made the project feel meaningful. It wasn’t just another classroom activity—it was something that
could help our school save water!
Encourages Problem-Solving
We had to troubleshoot sensor placement and adjust code, which made us think critically about how technology can solve environmental issues.
Works Well with Green Schools Goals
This project aligned perfectly with our school’s Green Flag for Water Conservation, helping us take action to reduce waste.
Míbhuntáistí a bhaineann le Teicneolaíocht Kinia a Úsáid don Tionscadal seo
Sensor Placement Was Challenging
It took some time to figure out the best way to attach the tilt sensor so it would detect every flush accurately.
Data Collection Required Monitoring
Some students accidentally triggered the sensor without actually flushing, so we had to double-check and clean the data.
Limited Battery Life
Since the Micro:bit was on all day, the battery drained quickly, and we had to replace it often. Connecting it to a USB power source helped.
Smaointe Deiridh
"Ba bhealach spraíúil é an tionscadal seo chun teicneolaíocht a mheascadh
le inbhuanaitheacht. D’oscail sé mo shúile don donoiread uisce a úsáidimid (agus a dhramhaílimid!) gach lá.
An chuid is fearr? Tá ár scoil ag cur anois córais dé-shruthlaithe isteach i ngach leithris mar gheall ar na sonraí a bhí bailithe againn Molaim go cinnte Kinia a úsáid
Teicneolaíocht le haghaidh níos mó tionscadal Scoileanna Glasa.”
