The Smart Servo Project: Empowering Inclusive Innovation
Welcome to the future of assistive technology and STEM education. The Smart Servo is a compact, all-in-one device that combines a microcontroller, servo motor, and versatile I/O options, empowering makers to create innovative solutions for real-world challenges.
The Smart Servo essentially gives anyone with access to assistive inputs, like a light-touch button, the power of high-torque rotation. Its small size allows it to be added or embedded into limitless invention ideas, making tasks more engaging and participatory. When combined with our community of makers ready to code, design, 3D print, or build, it becomes the cornerstone of a Human-Centered movement dedicated to service learning and universal access to the world.
What is the Smart Servo?
⦿ A powerful tool for rapid creation of custom assistive technologies and STEM projects
⦿ Bridges the gap between imagination and real-world impact
⦿ Enables quick prototyping and development of accessible technologies
Who is it for?
⦿ People with disabilities seeking personalized assistive solutions
⦿ STEM educators looking for hands-on, impactful projects
⦿ Makers passionate about creating accessible technologies
⦿ Anyone eager to learn physical computing while making a difference
"The Smart Servo has revolutionized how we approach assistive technology in our school. It's not just a device; it's a gateway innovation, empathy, and community service. " - Jane Denegan, STEM Coordinator
Why Join the Smart Servo Project?
Be part of a community transforming lives through technology. Whether you're adapting games for a child with limited mobility or designing an automated feeder for service animals, the Smart Servo Project empowers you to turn compassionate ideas into working solutions.Together, we're not just learning—we're innovating for inclusivity.
Bridging Technology and Compassion
The Smart Servo Project was born from our belief in technology's power to change lives. We're building a community of makers, educators, and students creating innovative assistive technologies that make a real difference.
The Challenge
⦿ Limited access to assistive technology that's affordable and customizable
⦿ Lack of impactful real-world applications in STEM education
⦿ Need for accessible user-friendly tools for rapid prototyping
Our Community Solution
The Smart Servo addresses these challenges by providing:
⦿ Open-source platform for quick prototyping and development
⦿ Collaborative creation of customized assistive technologies
⦿ Real-world applications bringing purpose to STEM education
