| + | Mitch Altman proposed a Global Hackerspace Challenge and PS:One accepted. We proposed the construction of an array of biosensors which could be used |
| + | in a secondary school or college setting as an educational and experimental tool. The array will collect data from various sensors attached to |
| + | the test subject's body and then make that data available to the experimenter. The project will use as many COTS parts as possible. The terms |
| + | of the Challenge require that it use a microcontroller and a "portable power source". |
