Meet ResQ-R

AboutWhat this class covers

An introduction to ResQ-R, EdQuest's safety-education project: a friendly Dalmatian badge whose spots are a working QR code, stuck on the safety equipment people already walk past every day. Six short lessons. The first explains what a QR code actually is, because the argument for putting one on an extinguisher rests on properties of the code that are not obvious. The second is the badge itself and the two things anyone can do with one. The remaining four are the same system from four different chairs: a household tracking its own smoke alarms and expiry dates, a fire service teaching a whole street through the hydrants already on it, a workplace whose equipment list is built by walking the site rather than typing it, and an organisation that has to prove a device was present and maintained. No prior knowledge is assumed and nothing here requires an account - reading a badge never does.

Prerequisites

None. If you can point a phone camera at something, you have everything this class assumes.

What to bring

A phone with a camera. Optionally, a look at the safety equipment in your own home or workplace before Lesson 03.

   Lesson 6:On the Record: Proving It Was Done
