- 7. Panel Discussion#ArduinoDaySA#ArduinoDaySA Ms keitumetsi Tsotetsi, The Facilitator @Keitu_Tsotetsi | keitu@geekulcha.com How to leverage on Big Data in South African Innovation Panelists: Paul Ssali from EWB UP, Jacob Masingi founder of the MEMT Group and Dr Vukosi Marivate from CSIR. ● We need to learn to start from the basics - Paul Ssali ● Companies are improving their productivity by crunching and analysing data - Dr Vukosi ● We must start educating people about #BigData & how to use it so we can progress our country ● Understand what the needs are ● “It’s about us being able to process the data” ● Machine Learning: You need data to be able to find the patterns ● Recent Big Data success story: How cities are using Big Data to make them more smart.
- 8. Exhibitions#ArduinoDaySA#ArduinoDaySA Part of Arduino Day is a Show & Tell, allowing Innovators to Discover and be Discovered. The following organizations/groups exhibited at Arduino Day SA: ● Intel Southern Africa ● Megadose Entertainment ● Maker Library Network ● VacWork Scholars ● Students ● MEMT Group ● FOE Foundation
- 10. Hack4Water#ArduinoDaySA#ArduinoDaySA As part of the national Hack4Water challenge, a water challenge was integrated into Arduino Day. Hack4Water is championed by Code4SA. Participants brainstormed and presented their ideas for Hack4Water. Videos were made and teams are encouraged to use the videos to enter the challenge. 6 solutions came out.
- 11. Ideas for Hack4Water#ArduinoDaySA#ArduinoDaySA Smart Taps Detecting the flow of water to determine any leakages. The smart tank has sensors to also determine the flow level. Saving water by alerting out-flow. DEE E-TEAM Water management system that allows helps with water reusability by purifying water from household appliances. Water Hack A smart tank system that will compute and provide water supply per need or use. IRIS Utilises the Internet Of Things (Weather monitoring), Soil Water Sensors, Data optimum water usage, IRIS is a continually live learning system. SmartWaterTank Detecting the depth of a tank, availability of water and the ability to toggle. Water flow will be controlled in the toilet, sink or in a bath tab. LiveToCode Real-time data monitoring (Water usage), Safe tank, Intelli-pipe. Notification through Web-based and Mobile app Access to limit daily usage of water
- 12. SkateHacks#ArduinoDaySA#ArduinoDaySA SkateHacks is an IoT and Big Data by Geekulcha and the Northern Cape provincial government to attract more young people into Science and Technology through skateboarding. Innovators were challenged to come up with ideas of making skateboards smart and cool. Best idea will be supported with tools and an opportunity to test/exhibit at the Skateboarding World Championship.
- 13. Ideas for SkateHacks#ArduinoDaySA#ArduinoDaySA Data Empire Collecting skate data on force impact exerted on the body during skating for safety research and design of the shock absorber solution. Super Skate Detecting soil moisture, the solution will be integrated with wireless headphones. Will have a vibrator/alarm to inform of encounter. Stunts Help Helping skaters by putting LEDs that shows you where to step when doing the tricks. Interactive learning. The GeekStars Bluetooth Skateboard: detects obstacles (rocks, pathways, cars). Detects the speed you are going at and alerts you when you are over the limit. PRO-GEEZ SKAPP TRICK: It’s a rubber pouch that will cover the board and help the skater to perform tricks Safety Skate Equipped with vibration sensors for people have hearing problems, it will bring about safety check Skate Location Helping determine safe places for skating. Skate Cam For learning purposes, this solution equips a skateboard with cameras to be able to show you where you went wrong.
- 15. Some of the projects showcased#ArduinoDaySA#ArduinoDaySA MEMT Group Projects showcased their Energy Management and Verification system and Data Visualization. Intel stand had IoT smart car, drone and other cool projects built from the Intel Edison board. Youngsters made drone out of recycled materials and simple DC motors.
