Lane Tech College Prep High School students, in collaboration with the University of Chicago, have installed sensor boxes at Wrigley Field to measure sound levels, customer satisfaction, and air quality, among other things.
Cubs fans leaving the ballpark starting Tuesday night may encounter a simple console with two circular buttons: one a red, angry face, the other a green, smiley face. The sensor will have a question attached asking fans about their experience at the ballpark and whether they would recommend a Wrigley visit to their family and friends.
Each push of a button will be recorded and registered on the computers of Lane Tech students.
The customer experience sensors are among three types of equipment the Lane Tech students designed, created, then set up at Wrigley Field as part of the Lane of Things program, a curriculum that teaches students about embedded sensor technology, digital fabrication, design and problem solving, data analytics, and teamwork.
