How Much Do You Fidget in Class? (21) ECE443-Sp26

Spring 2026

The How Much Do You Fidget in Class? system is intended for a psychology double blind study where researchers want to analyze the correlation between fidgeting and student learning in classrooms. The objective of this project is to develop a network of sensors that can be attached to a classroom chair for researchers to measure the movements of students during class. These sensors are easily set up without any intrusion to the chair's user. Power will be supplied through a rechargeable battery connected to a buck converter for both reliability and efficiency. Data from the different sensors will be gathered in a SD card from analog pins of the micro controller. All of this is enclosed in a 3D printed enclosure with eco friendly filament. One of the most notable achievements include gathering data with timestamps from all sensors simultaneously. One of the most challenging areas was system integration as it was procrastinated a bit too long and resulted in a stressful integration. Overall the system worked as intended.
