In a world where we have become addicted to our phones, it is easy for students to be distracted by social media and their personal cell phones while attempting to study. As of April 1, 2024, students spend an average of 4.8 hours a day on social media platforms, with the peak being seven hours a day.¹ If students had the tools to prevent them from picking up their phone while studying, they would not be as easily distracted by social media and procrastination levels will decrease.
To help students focus on studying, minimize social media distractions, and decrease time spent prospecting school work, we developed the “PIXIE.” The Pixie is a custom, digital study tool with features to enhance focus. Features include:
Liquid Crystal Display to provide a visual perspective on date, time weather, study timers, appealing art for the user.
Six push buttons for user-display interaction.
Microphone to activate a night light feature
Bluetooth Speaker: Music streaming & Alarms
Upload notes via website interface.
ESP32E Microcontroller:
The Pixie contains features that are included on students’ phones, but with all of these features displayed directly on the Pixie, there should be no need for a the user to pick-up their phone, becoming distracted from their studies!
