Wireless technology for pre-school learning environment

Pre-school learning has been very challenging for educators as children typically have short attention span and concentration. To induce tangible user interface in pre-school learning is what motivated this project to be proposed. A Smart box is proposed whereby RFID readers are embedded in it to co...
