Telecoms giant BT has announced the finalists of its young pioneer award, which celebrates youngsters using tech to make the world a better place.
The winner will be awarded with £5,000 to spend within the BT shop on new technology that will allow them to further their inventions, while finalists get to attend a networking event at BT Tower and receive tickets to visit Bletchley Park. “The system is built using a Raspberry Pi microcontroller. A motion sensor on the front door detects when a visitor arrives which triggers the camera to take a picture. This picture is compared against a database of known faces,” he explained.
“Today the stick has many features including sensors, Bluetooth, GPS, LED lights and more. I thought of the design very carefully and included features that can give blind and deaf people their independence.”Tess and Amy are the creators of Be Seen Trendy, a small handheld device that reads NFC labels attached to coat hangers and helps blind people dress independently.
