SETTING THE NEXT GENERATION FOR JOBS OF THE FUTURE

Some of the R&D projects

Conveyor Belt-Plastic Sorter by Alex Dodd

A programmable Arduino-driven Object and Counting Sorter. This programmable colour sorter is powered by an open-source Arduino microcomputer that can be programmed by anyone for many different applications and uses to solve societal problems such as sorting out recyclable bottle tops, bread tags, coffee pods, beads

Energy: Wind Power Cooking Technology by Guiliana Wright

Guiliana Wright seeks to develop a renewable energy device that generates electricity by harnessing the power of the wind for outlying rural areas. The product is a wind turbine that will use the wind to generate power that will be stored in a battery on-site

Smart Cooler Bag Transporter for Body Organs by Adelaide Hendrikse

Adelaide Hendrikse has developed a smart cooler bag transporter that self regulates itself for temperature
when transporting contents (e.g., organs, vaccines, medicines, etc.)

Smart Farming Technology by Jeff Dodd

Jeff Dodd has come up with a smart watering device for growing fresh produce.
Although this is directly being applied to the agricultural sector it can be applied in various industries. The system can be able to observe weather data along with soil dryness to be able to best determine when and how much of watering the plants require.
