Kids Build Pill Dispenser To Win Raspberry Pi Award

Posted by samzenpus on from the take-four-red-capsules dept.

judgecorp writes "The first Raspberry Pi Awards have picked the best projects built by schoolchildren using the Raspberry Pi. The winners included a team of 8 to 11 year olds, who built a door-answering machine for elderly or disabled people, and a team of 12 to 16 year olds, who made an automated pill dispenser for forgetful patients. Other categories included adults, who built a wireless home power consumption system."

    A wireless device that consumes power? What an original invention!

  2. Suspended yet? by EvilSS · · Score: 4, Funny

    So has the school of the pill dispenser team suspended them yet under a zero tolerance drug policy?
