Classroom hub
One Orange Pi 5 or better provides an independent Linux server that stays in the room.
Classroom labs
Permanent Orange Pi-powered invention labs for schools.
PrometheOS classroom systems combine the PrometheOS platform with tested, compatible educational hardware and third-party components.
Plan a Classroom Lab
A room-scale system
What stays in the classroom.
The permanent lab is organized around a local hub, repeatable team stations, and specialized equipment that teams can share.
Team stations
Teams of two to four learners use connected ESP32 stations to build, wire, test, and revise.
Shared equipment
Vision, RFID, robotics, audio, and environmental equipment extends the lab beyond each station.
Use the devices already in the room
The browser is the doorway, not the destination.
Students access the classroom hub from existing computers, Chromebooks, tablets, or other browser-capable devices. The screen exposes live state, rules, diagnostics, and control surfaces while the actual work happens in the physical system.
Team A
Input → rule → output
Team B
State → diagnostics → revision

PrometheOS hub
The classroom rhythm
A repeatable engineering practice, with room for original ideas.
The same visible workflow supports an introductory guided build and a student-designed capstone.
-
01
Access
Open the local dashboard and confirm the team station state.
-
02
Build
Choose a real need, connect components, and compose the behavior.
-
03
Wire + test
Work within instructor-defined low-voltage boundaries and inspect results.
-
04
Document
Record design choices, wiring, rules, observations, and failure cases.
-
05
Revise
Use evidence from the system to make the next version more dependable.
Support for the people leading the room
Educators guide the engineering context.
PrometheOS supports educators rather than replacing them. Teachers set safe boundaries, connect projects to the classroom, shape teamwork, and lead documentation and reflection.
- Launch Educator orientation and deployment planning
- Teach Curriculum, guided projects, and templates
- Maintain Technical support and replenishment planning
- Expand Additional stations and shared equipment over time
- Continue Optional updates, expanded curriculum, and training
Deployment path
Begin with a focused trial. Grow without discarding the foundation.
A deployment can start as a pilot, become a full classroom lab, and expand into an applied invention program.
Start
Pilot Lab
Smaller groups, demonstrations, libraries, and initial school trials.
Build out
Classroom Innovation Lab
Multiple team stations, shared equipment, curriculum, and training.
Extend
Applied Invention Lab
Advanced programs, capstones, technical academies, and makerspaces.
Package comparison
Three deployment models. One local-first foundation.
Package contents establish a starting point; configuration is shaped around the room, learners, and program goals.

What remains yours
The lab keeps working without a required annual service.
The school owns its installed hardware, software, and purchased curriculum. The local classroom system is not dependent on a cloud subscription to continue functioning.
Optional annual services can add updates, expanded curriculum, priority support, and training when a program wants them.
