The first "Urban Innovation and Technology Challenge" finals was successfully concluded earlier. The winning team defeated other opponents in more than 740 entries with smart technology and creativity, and stood out in the final 24. There is no doubt about its strength.
Participating teams were given the theme of "Intelligent Creation of Hong Kong's New Normal" and provided innovative and technological solutions on the two topics of "Environmental Sustainability" or "Maintaining Social Connections", and immediately see the winning secrets of each team!
After months of fierce competition, the first "Urban Innovation and Technology Challenge" was officially announced earlier.
The competition focused on the two main topics of "Environmental Sustainability" and "Maintaining Social Connections". It was divided into 4 groups: elementary school, middle school, university/college and open group. In the end, more than 740 entries were received. More than 1,250 local and non-local contestants participated individually or in teams.
The winning teams of different groups each had their own ingenuity in the competition of the last 24 proposals and won the grand prize.
The primary school category’s "maintaining social connection" topic champion solution is "Silver-haired "brain" friends". The team from Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Cai Rongxing Primary School hopes to solve the life problems of elderly people living alone. On behalf of classmate Liang Wenxuan, the design idea originated from the woman who has suffered a stroke. Ma: "I hope that the robot can take care and accompany Ma Ma. The user only needs to input the elderly’s life data into the robot, including daily life and eating habits, so that the robot can feed regularly and assist the elderly in their daily life, and take care of them. The role of the person.”
Leung Wenxuan from Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Tsai Wing Sing Primary School won the title of "Maintaining Social Connections" in the primary school group (Primary 1 to Primary 3). The concept of the design came from her mother.
As for the secondary school group (Secondary 1 to Secondary 3), students from the Hong Kong and Macau Lutheran Church Morte High School won the title of "Environmental Sustainability" and developed "A Rainbow of Waste Plastic-Automatic Plastic Bottle Sorting, Recycling and Recycling Machine".
The team uses the micro-control board and TCS3200 sensor to automatically sort and recycle the rubber products according to their colors, and then heat them to dissolve them to make adhesive strips that can be used in 3D printers.
The purpose is to help reduce the burden on frontline cleaners and solve the current complicated classification process after the implementation of the garbage classification levy.
The university/college category further deepened their ideas than the primary and secondary schools. The winning team, "PanopticHealth" of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, won the title of "Maintaining Social Connections" through innovative technology.
The team designed a remote health monitoring solution "PanopticHealth" based on a camera lens. Users only need to use the camera lens on a smartphone, tablet or computer to display human body characteristics, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Information to help monitor health.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology team developed "PanopticHealth" to monitor health remotely through innovation and technology.
The "Environmental Sustainability" topic in the open category was won by "Food TranSmarter", which created a more convenient and hygienic recycling method by liquefying food waste.
The group uses liquefaction technology to convert food waste into mud for general households’ food waste, so that it can be transported to a central facility, simplifying waste collection and transportation processes, and reducing labor and logistics costs.
"Food TranSmarter", who passed the game, said that the competition can stimulate thinking: "The process of participating in the competition can straighten out the team's thinking, understand the advantages and disadvantages of technology, and help implement the plan."
"Food TranSmarter" won the championship of "Environmental Sustainability" in the open category with the technology of liquefying food waste.
In addition to awarding prizes and trophies to the winning teams of the University/College Group and the Open Group, they will also have the opportunity to be provided with R&D resources and professional training to deepen the winning scheme. It is expected to be tested in government departments or public institutions in the future and become a real-world application. Innovation and technology program!
