Time Teaching Clock

With the news that digital clocks are now being installed in examination rooms in schools /colleges as children and teenagers are unable to tell the time on analogue clocks I decided to build a multifunction clock to teach children the time.

The clock has a word clock to translate the time from the digital and analogue clock in 5 minute intervals. There is also a Neopixel clock for dial illumination, seconds and also a colour change function so a small child who can't yet tell the time can tell when they are allowed out of bed in the morning.

Clip on dial overlays allow help words to be added to the analogue clock dial and also allow for different dials to be added for teaching different dial layouts eg 24hr clock or Roman numerals.
The Word Clock is modular which allows any letter to be placed anywhere on the Word clock face. This allows names and birthdays to be configured if required with a happy birthday display on the child's birth date.
