For the course, all students purchased the Sparkfun Inventor’s Kit which included amicrocontroller and an array of electronic components including sensors and motors [11]. Teamsalso had access to additional sensors and motors that could be used.The project took place over seven weeks with the following weekly deliverables:Deliverable Week 1: 1.

They described how these“specific strategic bodies of information” [4, p. 314], were utilized to ensure and maintain thewell-being of their families. For instance, they described families and their knowledge of folkmedicine to provide medical care for their families due to the lack of doctors and thediscrimination faced by Mexican Americans in rural areas in the Southwest.
