Onid Junior High School
Technology of the Building
Clear Solar Panels
- Onid ISD has decided to put completely clear solar panels in the Junior High School.
- The panels are as clear as glass, and are more efficient than the opaque solar panels of the past.
- They are placed with the windows to not only provide natural lighting within the school, but also to make the school more eco-friendly and green.
Energy from vibrations
- Inside of Onid ISD's Junior High there are pieces of hardware that harness natural kinetic energy to produce electricity.
- The pieces of technology is a device about one cubic centimeter in size that uses ambient vibrations (such as the vibrations of sound) to produce electricity.
Energy from flexing
- Onid ISD would use a device that uses flexing, as opposed to vibrations, to make electricity.
- The device would be useful being used by machinery to continuously flex it to make the electricity.
Technology for Students and Faculty
Wireless Charging
- Onid ISD's Junior High School has wireless chargers that send out a magnetic field through the air, while shooting electricity through the air.
- It plugs into a router, much like WiFi, but instead you connect to electricity and are able to charge your devices.
Augmented Reality
- Onid ISD will use Augmented Reality to lower and nearly nullify school trip costs. The AR, or Augmented Reality, combines the real world with a fake one.
- Or, it can be used to display any place in the real world, instead of going there.
- This will make demonstrations, school trips, and special lessons easier.
Technology on Campus
Solar Botanic Trees
- Onid ISD has decided to utilize the improvements in both solar and nano-technology, and has placed solar-power harnessing trees on the JHS campus.
- The trees's leaves are solar panels, and one tree can power a three bedroom house.
- In all of OJHS's green areas, these trees have been placed.
