Second Place
High School Helper
Archer Atkins, Hugo Dorney, Ollie Johnston & Fraser Parsons
Waimea Heights Primary School
Our project is made to help highschoolers who cant find their way around school
We are creating a card that you’ll scan on the scanners that will be scattered around the school hallways. Once its scanned it will tell you how to get there.
We made this because kids who are new to the school or aren’t good with remembering there way around places. The reason this is helpful is because people can get very stressed out about not knowing where to be and they miss out on learning time trying to find the class.
We used machine learning to program it to recognize each individual card.

The owner of the lock will be able to download and upload authorised faces and voices and allow them into the premise. this lock also solves the problem with losing keys. It is widely known that losing keys to your home, being locked out and having to call a family member for a copy of the key or a lockpick is a pain, or a person has disabilities that doesn’t allow them to put a key into the lock. for this reason, it is the basis of our invention, to let the vulnerable and sick into their homes without the risk of losing keys or breaking and entering.
