Makershala: Educational Study Books

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'Maker Arm'.

In this project, learners will design a robotic arm they can control using simple hand gestures, allowing them to safely and precisely sort items or pick up objects. This project addresses real-life challenges by creating a tool that enables people to handle hard-to-reach or delicate objects more safely and effectively. As they develop their robotic arm, learners will gain skills in building robotic structures using servo motors and mechanical tools while applying computational thinking. Additionally, they will enhance their creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and design-thinking abilities.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'Sprayo.AI'.

Agriculture is being advanced more productive and safe with evolving technologies. Artificial Intelligence can be a big game changer. Inclusion of AI in agricultural applications is believed to turn the process more sustainable and profitable in future. Moving on the line, in this project learners will develop the AI application using computer vison to detect pests and diseases in plants and activate pesticide sprayer automatically based on the detection. This approach will not only help farmers save plants from hazardous diseases and destructing pests, but also reduce the usage of pesticide in fields that would ultimately save the cost of farming and protect humans and environment from pesticide toxicity. During the project journey, learners will learn to develop AI vision models, integrate them with Android apps, and control sprayer system using Bluetooth with ESP32 development board.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'JalSenso'.

Water is life! 🙂 But...potable water is decreasing on earth as we are progressing towards increased population and exploitation of natural water resources for industrial purposes. We are using high quality water to make cloths, and people in a lot of area are getting bunch of disease due to the consumption of unsafe water they receive from various resources. In this project, learners will tackle the problem of consuming unsafe water from various resources by building up water testing devices using different sensors that will check water's turbidity, temperature, and other parameters. Not just that, they will send the data to online cloud using IoT system and then perform data science operations to predict if the water sample is potable or not. That's a lot of learning, right?

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'AI OceanGuard'.

The oceans are huge, making it hard to monitor and protect endangered marine species like sharks, corals, and marine mammals, which are at risk from overfishing, habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Traditional methods often miss important changes, but AI can help by using sensors, cameras, and drones to track and monitor these species in real time. AI can also predict the impact of human activities and suggest ways to protect key areas, making it easier to safeguard marine life and their habitats.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'AR Explain'.

Augmented Reality has opened door to visualize unseen things just in front of you. Not just that, you can interact with it, make it small, make it large, destroy it, remake it. Imagine if you could assemble a whole car without actually bringing even a single part of a car. This is what Augmented reality can bring to you. In this project, learners will develop an artifact to make learning more inclusive and attractive. with the help of augmented reality. They will use industries most prevalent tools such as Unity and AR core (by Google) for the development of final AR prototype.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'Buddy Bot'.

During the Buddy Bot project, learners will build an AI robot that would help people in loneliness by responding to their talks. Learners will learn to develop AI model using Teachable Machine and then integrate the AI model with Micro:bit and using Makecode.org and MakeAIRobot platforms.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'Talk Bot'.

Traditional books and textual learning resources do not attract young children a lot. The educational organizations needs to be equipped with emerging technologies for making learning more interactive and fun for children. In this project, learners themselves will build the skills in developing educational tools that can help young children learn new concepts interactively. This project will equip learners with hands-on learning for building a talking robot using Makey-Makey kit and MIT Scratch platform.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'Home Security System'.

Due to rising issues of theft, fire accidents, and other dangerous events at home, there has been a need to build more secure buildings and safety systems. This project would encourage learners to take a step forward towards learning alarm and safety systems and applying the same to build an alarm system for a real-world problem faced by people inside their homes. These problems may vary depending on the learners’ exploration, with suggested application areas being intruder alarms, fire protection systems, etc. While working on various tasks to achieve sequential milestones during the project, learners will build essential 21st century skills mapped with ISTE ( International Society for Technology in Education) standards and MSLF (Makershala Learning Framework). Also, learners will develop working competencies in new age technology where they will learn to use embedded system device (Micro:bit) for developing and setting up alarm system using IoT technology. In addition to this, learners will also develop their understanding on scientific concepts such as circuits, sensors, switches, and electrical conduction.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'Rockets'.

Space exploration has become critical for human existence & evolution. Commercialization of the space market opens up doors for independent space enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. The project is aimed towards developing fundamental skills of rocketry in learners so as to enable them for future opportunities arising with ever-growing industry of government as well as private space-tech organizations. During the project, learners will work collaboratively in a team to achieve a common project goal based on the inquiry --- How to achieve a stable rocket flight by building a model rocket system. The Journey will encourage learners to learn and apply concepts of physical and mathematical sciences; center of gravity, center of pressure, graphical scaling and geometry, laws of motion, and more. The project will also create events for learners where they will build and demonstrate critical thinking, scientific thinking, and information literacy skills.

This book facilitates learners in completing the Makershala Project 'X-Ray Logist'.

In this project, learners will explore basic concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, applying these to create an app for radiological analysis of X-ray images to detect pneumonia. They will learn about pneumonia, its symptoms, and the role of X-ray technology in diagnosing it. Through hands-on tasks, learners will also understand the burden of diseases in India and how AI can support radiologists by reducing manual errors and enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
