Since the launch of ourOpenScopeKickstarter, we’ve been blown away by all of the early support! In the first few weeks we have filled our first production run, started a second batch with an August delivery date, and increased our learning edition to accommodate additional pledges! This support has given us the opportunity to create a product that we hope will enhance educational and personal pursuits, with on-the-go project capabilities to enrich any STEM or STEAM experience.
While we prepare the OpenScope to meet its quickly growing community, we wanted to take the time to introduce some possible projects that could be completed within the classroom. These ideas are inspired by current projects in the maker community, bridging concepts from engineering to art with the functions found on WaveForms Live (test our new software here！）。
使音乐栩栩如生：Using theOpenScope和WaveForms Liveoscilloscope function to visualize music.
开发茎或蒸汽课程时，通常建议开始在微控制器上教授入门技能。These devices can be extremely helpful when learning basic coding and circuit principles, with an impressive community supplying数百个项目创意!
While tinkering around the makerspace at Digilent, many interns are partial to theWF32和Wi-Fire微控制器由于其Wi-Fi功能和物联网（IoT）潜力。受此较旧的指导的启发，以创建微控制器钢琴，该钢琴使用Max32，我们注意到有潜力OpenScope可以使音乐栩栩如生的项目。
音乐家和DJ都是长期的粉丝oscilloscope projectsfor visualizing sound waves from songs they are composing. With the oscilloscope function on WaveForms Live, classrooms can use the OpenScope portability and Wi-Fi capability to visually map the audio output from a project like this简单12笔记钢琴。By hooking up the fly wires to the piano circuit, students can watch their hard work dance before them as the audio output is displayed on WaveForms Live. Combining music and electronics in a STEAM curriculum may help educators bridge the gap between students with science and artistic preferences, helping students apply STEAM concepts in a way that caters to their passion.
Check In On Your Health:Using theOpenScope和WaveForms Live示波器功能以监测您的心脏。
教育者可以通过应用技术原则来增强其STEM计划的另一种方式。One project using a portable oscilloscopeteaches readers the skills they need to replicate an electrocardiograph (ECG) machine on their computer. By using theOpenScope和the oscilloscope function onWaveForms Live，教育者可以使用电子产品来说明他们的健康和健康概念。包括人体自然电位在内的项目可以为学生提供一种有趣的方式与电子产品互动，并为创建适用于日常体验的东西带来了额外的好处。
Amplify Current Events:Using theOpenScope和WaveForms Live使用加速原则测量地震和其他科学实验。
Inspired by a“地震仪”框项目, educators can supplement STEM curriculums through the application of acceleration concepts. With the use of外围模块和microcontrollers, students can visually map a variety of scientific functions through personally created circuits. Hooking up theOpenScopewith its fly wires allows students to see the underlying electronic signals that illustrate scientific principles. This style of teaching can help concepts come to life with the help ofWaveForms Live。
Searching online resources can present educators with numerous project ideas, perfect for the academic environment, with newfound support in一个负担得起的但功能强大的学习tool。为了实现开源社区支持该产品的梦想，the OpenScope hardware为STEM或Steam教育者提供增强学习环境和课堂体验的机会。额外的保证机会，最近更新了OpenScopeLearning Edition, give backers the best of both worlds with an OpenScope and parts kit plus workbook examples. However, the best option for educators looking to bring the OpenScope into their curriculum is theOpenScope教室包誓言，提供10个带有完整附件捆绑包的Openscopes。这种承诺为支持者提供了以折扣价提升其茎或蒸汽体验所需的一切，从而最大程度地提高了预算和学习潜力。要了解有关OpenScope的更多信息以及您可以增强茎或Steam课程的方式，请查看下面的视频或visit the Kickstarter page重温其发展过程。
Whether you’re a current STEM or STEAM educator, or looking to add affordable hardware to your makerspace, we would love to hear what projects you have in mind for our newest instrumentation!
