The Intra-Urban Grow Box
Challenge: Innovation
Category: Intermediate
Region: South Fraser
City: Surrey, BC
School: Surrey Academy of Innovative Learning
Abstract: The Intra-Urban Grow Box is a combination of a composter and a greenhouse designed for urban environments. The composter and greenhouse coexist in a near virtuous cycle, both benefiting from having the other in the system. Other compact composters and planters on the market come separately, so combining the two makes usage easier and simpler for consumers as well as boosts the combined efficiency.
BCI-Neurokey – Development and Testing of a Non-Invasive Brain Computer Interface
Challenge: Innovation
Category: Senior
Region:South Fraser
City:Surrey, BC
School: Fraser Heights Secondary
Abstract: The objective of this project is to develop a software keyboard interface (BCI-Neurokey) with the Python programming language which analyzes attention levels in the brainwaves sensed by the Neurosky Mindwave EEG. The BCI-Neurokey should be easy-to-use and accurate for someone to type out phrases. The BCI-Neurokey will also be tested on test participants wearing an EEG, to measure the effectiveness and accuracy of the system.
AutoParkade: Could this solve long parking wait times?
Challenge: Innovation
Category: Junior
Region: South Fraser
City: Surrey, BC
School: Surrey Academy of Innovative Learning
Abstract: It is a pretty well-known that parking in big cities, weekends, or just busy areas in general is a real pain sometimes, and yet there hasn’t been a true solution. That is why we invented a more efficient parking system, which we named as AutoParkade. With this system, each driver is assigned their own spot in advance, greatly reducing roaming times and boosting overall efficiency.
Turmeric’s Genome for CRISPR Engineering to Alter Climate Resistant Phenotypes
Challenge: Environment
Category: Senior
Region: South Fraser
City: Delta, BC, Surrey, BC
School: Southpointe Academy
Abstract: Exploring the genome of Turmeric, this project aims to provide a realistic and effective theory on how to use CRISPR genetic engineering techniques to change climate adaptability of Turmeric. Subsequently, this would allow Turmeric to grow outside of its current natural climate and in a drastically different environment. Specifically, we looked at making it possible for Turmeric to grow in the Middle East.
A Hand for Hope
Challenge: Innovation
Category: Intermediate
Region: South Fraser
City: Surrey, BC
School: Khalsa School (Surrey)
Abstract: A Hand for Hope translates all the signs and movements made on one hand, using a glove, to the bionic hand. The bionic hand has multiple uses, such as space exploration, marine biology, work in nuclear and other factories, in medical fields i.e. surgery and for amputees. It is giving hope to multiple industries by opening new doors for innovation in various fields.
Effects of Sunscreen on Aquatic Plants
Challenge: Environment
Category: Junior
Region: South Fraser
City: Delta, BC
School: Devon Gardens Elementary
Abstract: My project is about the effects of sunscreen on aquatic plants. I researched at first about corals because there were studies about it affecting corals, I later adapted this project for plants since we don't really have corals on our coast. I did this project so that more people would know about sunscreens effects. I really hope people care and change their sunscreens.
