Split-flap displays for schools & universities

Your campus communicates
every minute of the day.

Room schedules, exam timetables, event announcements, campus news — flipping on any screen in your entrance hall, corridor, or student union. Information that gets read instead of scrolled past.

A real mechanical split‑flap board starts at $15,000. Split‑Flap TV works on the screen you already own — from $25/month.

The problem

Notice boards get ignored. Intranet posts get buried. Emails get deleted.

Every educational institution wrestles with the same problem: too much information, too few channels that actually reach students and staff. Printed notice boards become wallpaper within a week. Digital displays loop the same slides nobody watches. Email open rates in education are among the lowest of any sector. The split‑flap display works because motion and sound are involuntary attention triggers. Students look up from their phones when a board flips. That moment — brief as it is — is long enough to land a room change, a deadline reminder, or a welcome message.

The distinctive aesthetic gives the campus a sense of character and attention to detail

What to display

What schools and universities display.

Room & timetable changes

Lecture moved to Room 204. Tutorial cancelled. Lab starts 15 minutes late. Updated in seconds — on screen before the students arrive.

Exam schedule

Exam hall, start time, seat allocation — displayed in the week before assessments so students stop asking the same questions at reception.

Campus events

Open day, careers fair, guest lecture, sports fixture — scheduled to appear a week before and disappear automatically the day after.

Deadline reminders

Assignment due Friday 5pm. Enrolment closes Monday. Grant applications open now. Displayed where students gather, when it matters.

Welcome & orientation

Welcome new students, induction programme schedule, key contacts — displayed at the entrance during freshers week and updated daily.

Student union & society news

Club tryouts, society meeting times, charity events — managed by student union staff from their phones without IT involvement.

“We put one at the entrance to the main building. More students read it in a week than had read our notice board all term. The flip genuinely makes people stop.”
