Real systems engineering for the classroom

Turn Every Classroom Into an Invention Lab.

PrometheOS combines a dedicated classroom server, connected ESP32 workstations, real sensors and controls, structured curriculum, and educator support—giving students the power to build useful physical systems from the beginning.

Real wiring. Real devices. Real problems. Real results.

The problem

Students use technology everywhere, but rarely own how it works.

Too many educational technology programs prioritize predetermined activities over genuine experimentation, technical ownership, and invention.

The usual prerequisite wall

  • Coding
  • Electronics
  • Linux
  • Networking
  • Bash and command-line tools
  • Databases
  • Embedded systems
  • Troubleshooting

PrometheOS removes the prerequisite wall, not the engineering.

The PrometheOS difference

Start With a Working Idea. Learn the Engineering Through Building It.

Students begin with a functional foundation while keeping access to the hardware, software, networks, logic, diagnostics, and code beneath it.

  1. 01

    Make cause and effect visible

    Connect a real input, observe state, and control a physical output.

  2. 02

    Open the system layer by layer

    Move into wiring, logic, networking, Linux, APIs, and firmware as needed.

  3. 03

    Turn failure into evidence

    Use diagnostics, logs, documentation, and revision to make the system better.

How the classroom works

One local hub. Many student inventions.

The Orange Pi hub runs PrometheOS locally while teams build with connected ESP32 stations and shared equipment. Existing browser-capable school devices provide access.

  1. Connect Wire a safe, instructor-guided input or sensor.
  2. Compose Build the rule, timer, schedule, or condition.
  3. Act Control a light, alert, motor, relay, or interface.
  4. Inspect Read state and diagnostics instead of guessing.
  5. Revise Document what changed and test the system again.

What students can build

Useful physical systems, not toy demos.

Projects begin with observable inputs and outputs, then grow into automation, perception, interaction, and student-designed systems.

Student continuity

The classroom introduces the tools. The student keeps them.

Every participating student receives PrometheOS free for personal and educational use so classroom work can continue at home with compatible equipment and an affordable ESP32.

Follow the classroom-to-home journey
  1. Classroom Build and document
  2. Project file Export and carry forward
  3. Home Import, reconnect, and continue
  4. Portfolio Keep evidence of iteration

Ownership and local-first operation

A permanent lab, not a cloud dependency.

The classroom system operates locally, the school owns installed equipment and purchased curriculum, and PrometheOS does not require a cloud subscription to continue functioning.

Optional renewals can provide updates, expanded curriculum, priority support, and training.
