This project is intended to resolve the issue of accessibility to educational technology for ‘at risk’ public elementary students. There is an increasing presence of tablet PCs in schools to enhance the learning process and the iPad has seen serious traction in the US elementary school system. By developing an affordable system solution I posit that the benefits of tablets can be provided to students beyond the classroom at the end of the school day. 

Through designing an affordable, easy to use peripheral device the student experience with educational technology can be extended into the home. Along with this device, I outlined the framework for the application that will be installed on the iPads as well as recommendations for implementation of the alveo system.
