Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Old Webcams?

Posted by Soulskill on from the attach-to-squirrels dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I work as an IT administrator at a school. We have just upgraded our entire webcam inventory (about 45 webcams, model Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX) and have all the old ones sitting around. I would like to know what a neat project would be to make use of all the old ones. I was figuring there would be an open project somewhere that involved mass amounts of webcams."

    Have all the students submit ideas, then let them vote on which project to do.

    I'm guessing 50 school kids can come up with some pretty unique ideas.
