Concept and Motivation • This project will allow both kids and adults to enjoy jump roping in an innovative way. Replacing regular jump ropes with a rope of led lights that change color and display words/images controlled by embedded components such as accelerometers, our project will also calculate / “display” calories burned. • Kids are getting fat because they don’t exercise any more. Jump roping is a good way of exercise. We expect our innovation to bring fun back to jump roping and keep kids healthy.
