This project was made with readily available materials but in a short time frame that circumscribed the uses to which it could be put. A future project needs to be more robust. We used a bright green tupperware container, reflections from which distorted the LED readout. Protruding wires from the Arduino and the breadboard need to secured and elevated in a suitable housing. Setting the temperature range from 68F to 80F was appropriate to the environment as we were not able to find an object to measure that was cold enough to trigger the previous range of 73F to 85F. Using an Arduino kit, Julia (JuliaR), Becca (rgovoni) and Jacob (jacobmatz) from Northeastern's Environment, Technology and Society Fall semester class, constructed a thermal flashlight to measure heat variations in an academic office environment. This could be used to explore changes in temperature at different ocean depths, or at increasing distances from factory air space. We had the sensor covered and our the room temperature was outside of the range set on the flashlight. It turns out that we did not cut open a second hole in the front of our box for the sensor so it was not able to detect thermal changes as easily. We were having a hard time getting the color to change, even when held up to something with a more extreme temperature, so we had to blow directly onto the flashlight to warm it up. We went into a dark bathroom to take pictures of the color variations in the flashlight.

We wanted to see how we could get a full range of light within the apartment, and with the pre-set conditions of the flashlight. Jordi Ariel Lotito, Isabella Ferrer, Emily Krebs
