Classroom Engagement Camera Kit v29
Classroom Engagement Camera Kit v29 — Build a Distracted Driving Detector with Raspberry Pi 5
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit lets you build a distracted driving detection system that uses MediaPipe Face Mesh to track driver gaze direction and detect phone usage — all on a Raspberry Pi 5 camera setup. Originally designed for education analytics, it also doubles as a classroom attention monitor, giving you a flexible project that fits hackathons, final‑year submissions, or hands‑on AI exploration.
What You'll Build
A compact edge AI camera that monitors a driver's face in real time and alerts through a piezo buzzer whenever it spots prolonged gaze away from the road or phone handling. Reposition the camera and the same codebase tracks student engagement — logging who looks at the board and who’s scrolling on a phone. You’ll walk away with a fully functional prototype, solid Python scripts, and a demonstrable understanding of computer vision on embedded hardware.
What You'll Learn
- Configure a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Pi Camera Module 3 and boot from a fast NVMe SSD via the M.2 HAT+
- Implement MediaPipe Face Mesh to extract 468 facial landmarks and estimate head‑pose in real time
- Write Python logic that classifies distracted driving events (gaze‑off‑road, phone‑in‑hand) from live video
- Interface a piezo buzzer for instant audio alerts and record incident timestamps to an SSD‑backed database

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11‑12 students and B.Tech ECE/EEE candidates building AI projects for board practicals or placements. Smart India Hackathon teams tackling automotive safety, ATL Tinkering Labs introducing edge AI, and IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS researchers needing a ready‑to‑deploy gaze‑tracking testbed. The flexible use‑case also makes it a strong pick for educators demonstrating computer vision in the classroom.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the box to chat with an AI companion that knows every step of this exact kit, or message us on WhatsApp for direct support from our engineers.
Can I use this kit for a classroom attention monitor instead of a distracted driving detector?
Absolutely. The same hardware and MediaPipe‑based gaze logic work perfectly for education analytics — just place the camera facing the class and adjust the detection thresholds in the provided Python scripts.
Do I need to solder anything?
No soldering at all. The kit uses pre‑assembled modules and M‑M jumper wires that plug straight into the Raspberry Pi 5 GPIO header.
Is the NVMe SSD pre‑loaded with software?
Yes, the 128GB SSD arrives with Raspberry Pi OS, MediaPipe, OpenCV, and working example scripts for both distracted driving and classroom engagement detection.
