Using Commodity Hardware for Classroom Emergency Notification

Recent Rochester Institute of Technology graduates will demonstrate the results of their senior project aiming to create a robust emergency notification system using modern, inexpensive hardware. The system supports Android, Chrome OS, and browser-compatible devices in order to create clocks that can quickly distribute emergency alerts using existing alerting infrastructure.

Outcomes: Review working demonstrations of the system running on various commodity hardware * See how the system integrates into many commonly used emergency communications platforms * Review the web platform that allows school officials to share management responsibilities and easily manage large numbers of deployed devices across multiple campus locations
