Personal Social Distance Monitor

Anoushka successfully built a social distance monitor device that measures 6 feet from other people accurately and can alert with a buzzer and led light. Public social distancing is a safety measure to minimize chances of getting infected with covid 19. The challenge of social distancing is that it is hard to keep track of

Light-Seeking Robot

This project is about building a simple light seeking solar powered robot. This will allow the robot to self charge and can have several applications. Some examples are self charging vacuum cleaners. The robot will save energy due to the solar power which is better for the environment. The robot will also save time while

The Task Alarm

Alarm clocks aren’t very efficient because users just snooze the alarm clock due to their tiredness. Based on this problem, Adit’s overall question was “How can I build and design a more efficient alarm clock,” an alarm that can only be deactivated through various different tasks. By answering this question, Adit was able to design

AquaSafe- A Device to Prevent Drowning in Pools
