<p>Hi everyone, <br>
</p>
<p>Confirming that this Grant Request is open for community feedback
until 20th October. In the interests of transparency, I've had a
phone call with Mike about this, and have advised to use the 2017
Grants Program process for this request. <br>
</p>
<p>There is $35k allocated to the 2017/2018 Grants Program. The
highest amount applied for here of $2170 represents 6.2% or around
1/16th of our total grants budget for the year. <br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards, <br>
</p>
<p>Kathy Reid<br>

stands for “Intelligent Watering System”. Think of it as a
Raspberry Pi attached to a tap, but intelligently! Basic
versions can measure how much water is in the soil and how
much water is being released, while more advanced versions
can measure rainfall, temperature and humidity. We've
created a 100% open source controller from readily available
components so the IWS is not only powerful, it's also
inexpensive and repairable. It's simple enough to be
assembled on a breadboard by primary school students but
we’ve also designed a freely (as in speech) available PCB,
ready for soldering.</span></p>

IWS was developed at Kimberley Park State School to teach
primary school students STEM concepts. Students can write
new code for the IWS using Scratch or python to modify it's
functionality or add entirely new sensors and create
something awesome. Two of our organisers have spent the past
12 months working with students in class and they’re having
great results. Now we’d like to help other schools make use
of and improve on our work.</span></p>

version we'll be focusing on at the hackathon has been
designed to water potted plants or small gardens, but it's
equally comfortable watering much larger spaces. At
Kimberley Park State School, the home of the IWS, it's
currently being used to water a very large vegetable garden.</span></p>

goal is to start producing an open, freely available toolkit
for the IWS that includes teacher instruction, connections
to the Australian Curriculum, assessment and extension
opportunities. We want to empower participants to create a
shared portfolio of ideas around a wide variety of topics
including where the IWS fits into the curriculum, what
lesson plans will look like, how assessment will work, how
to physically install an IWS in a classroom or school and
how to extend students using the IWS.</span></p>

teams of three or four teachers will work to create one or

Australian Curriculum and fit with a theme of work that
students would typically work with throughout the year (e.g.
the water cycle). All lesson plans will be uploaded to
instructables (so anyone can use them) and any other

- One or more IWS controllers to give away to attending

one 12VDC power supply and some other cables for between
$100 and $150 depending on the supplier and the amount
purchased. The largest single expense is the valve coming in
at about $50. Anyone that want’s to use the IWS would need
to supply their own Raspberry Pi and all the hose parts that
attach to the valve. We are currently approaching some
suppliers to see if we can get them to sponsor us with a
discount or some freebies but we will need to pay some
amount. We believe it’s very important to get the IWS into
the hands of the teachers that come to the hack so that they
can get it set up ASAP and use it to test, extend and
develop new lessons. Depending on how many we can get
together we may give them out as prizes or one to each
school whose teachers attend up to about 8-10 units in
total.</span></p>
