The Pearson lab was taken over yesterday afternoon, by a small team of hackers from the Pearson group who were joined by a recent graduate of a Centrepoint Charity employability programme, Aimee McDonald, with the aim of producing a cheap ways of integrating tech into the classroom.
Using a few simple and affordable technologies, including a Raspberry Pi, Wiimote and an Infrared pen, the group managed to build an interactive digital whiteboard for a fraction of the price of those bought for schools.
