TempoSphere Dissemination Plan

Introduction

This final project, named TempoSphere, involves the creation of a mechanical clock that not only shows the time but also incorporates the Pomodoro method for time management and a temperature sensor to display ambient temperature. Below is the dissemination plan to make this project known among potential interested parties and explore future possibilities for development and expansion.

Target Audience

University students and professionals who wish to improve their productivity and time management.
People interested in mechanical devices and everyday applied technology.
Enthusiasts of digital fabrication and hardware design.
Makers and Fab Labs communities interested in innovative projects.

Dissemination Strategies

Instagram

Post attractive images and short videos showcasing the manufacturing process and the final product in action.
Use relevant hashtags (#Pomodoro, #MechanicalClock, #DigitalFabrication, #Technology).

YouTube

Upload tutorials and demonstrations of the clock, explaining its construction and features.
Create a series of videos showing each stage of the project, from design to final implementation.

Funding and Expansion Plan

Business Plan

Develop a business plan that includes market analysis, marketing strategies, and financial projections to assess the feasibility of commercializing the clock.
Identify potential investors and crowdfunding platforms for initial financing.

License Choice

Open Source License

Motivations: Select an open license to contribute to collective knowledge, facilitate learning, and encourage innovation within the maker community.

Future Possibilities

Integration of New Features: Explore the possibility of adding new features to the clock, such as custom alarms, internet connection for time synchronization, and an interface for modifying times.
Design Improvements: Work on improving the accuracy of the mechanical clock and the efficiency of the Pomodoro method. Include a reset button to set all numbers to 0 in case of any errors.
Community Expansion: Foster the creation of a community of users and developers who share improvements and new applications for the clock. Organize events and workshops to teach others how to build and customize their own TempoSphere.

Conclusion

This dissemination plan aims to make the mechanical clock with Pomodoro method and temperature measurement known to a broad and diverse audience, foster collaboration, and explore funding and expansion possibilities for the project. Through these strategies, it is expected not only to disseminate the knowledge acquired during the project development but also to inspire others to explore and create their own innovative projects.
