Pi 5 Classroom Engagement AI Monitor
Raspberry Pi 5 AI Kit: Build an Anonymous Classroom Engagement Monitor
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn a Raspberry Pi 5 into an AI-powered classroom observer that tracks student engagement through head pose and posture—without recording faces or identifying individuals. Using Google MediaPipe for real-time face and pose estimation, this kit lets you build a camera module that classifies attention levels and produces anonymous aggregate reports. Perfect for teachers, researchers, and hackathon teams exploring privacy-first EdTech.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a compact device with a Pi Camera Module 3 Wide and NVMe SSD that runs a custom MediaPipe pipeline. The system detects faces and body landmarks, calculates a per-student engagement score based on gaze direction, head tilt, and slouch, then outputs a privacy-safe dashboard showing class-wide metrics like overall attention percentage and trends over time. Everything runs locally on the Pi 5—no cloud processing, no video storage.
What You'll Learn
- Set up Raspberry Pi 5 with camera and fast NVMe storage for real-time AI inference
- Deploy Google MediaPipe pose and face landmark detection on a low-power edge device
- Build an engagement scoring algorithm using head pose estimation and posture analysis
- Create an anonymous reporting system that respects student privacy by design

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students working on AI/ML electives, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building minor projects, and Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping privacy-aware EdTech solutions. ATL Tinkering Labs and research groups at IIT/NIT/VIT can use it to demonstrate edge AI in classroom settings.
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 to chat with our AI companion trained on this kit, or message us on WhatsApp for human help within hours.
Does this kit record or store video of students?
No. The system processes frames in real time and immediately discards them. Only anonymous aggregate engagement scores are saved on the NVMe SSD, ensuring full student privacy.
Can I integrate this with a school's existing learning management system?
The dashboard is a lightweight web app running on the Pi that can be accessed via local network. Export the data as CSV for integration with Google Classroom or custom LMS tools.
What programming language and libraries does this project use?
The project is built in Python using MediaPipe, OpenCV, and Flask for the dashboard. All code is pre-loaded and documented, with the AI companion ready to explain every step.
MediaPipe face and pose on Pi 5 classifies student engagement level from head pose and posture — anonymous aggregate reporting.
