AI Classroom Suite (PURPLE)
The AI Classroom Suite is the result of a comprehensive, year-long capstone project that explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, embedded systems, and ethical educational technology. Motivated by growing concerns around academic integrity and the absence of real-time feedback mechanisms in classrooms, this system was developed to transform traditional learning environments into responsive, data-driven ecosystems. By integrating IoT sensors, edge computing with the Raspberry Pi and Hailo-8, and advanced AI tools such as Whisper and GPT-based models, the project introduces a smart classroom framework capable of analyzing student engagement, summarizing lectures, and assisting both instructors and students in real time. Special attention was given to privacy, system modularity, and compliance with international standards such as GDPR and FERPA.
