Hatching Curiosity
Chickubator™ is a highly educational DIY incubator kit for fertilized chicken eggs. Designed as a fun introduction to several key facets of bioengineering, Chickubator™ features onboard electronics for monitoring and controlling ambient conditions, with wireless integration for smartphone devices. Users can connect with their chick to check its status, receive hatching notifications about its development, view temperature, humidity, sound, motion and oxygen levels, graph and analyze realtime data, predict hatchability percents and patterns while significantly increasing their understanding of embryonic development and sustainability. There’s even an onboard optical imaging system for tracking prenatal development in vivo. The system is all powered by flexible, intuitive Electric Imp and Arduino architectures. Chickubator™-- hatching curiosity will be totally open sourced.
Our virtual reality chicks, Scramble and Benedict, and SunnySide were inspired by these guys.
