The annual competition saw record number of students participating and integrating STREAM knowledge and design thinking to “Innovate for a Better Hong Kong.”
The Ying Wa Primary School team created the “Enkindle” to help students relieve stress. Enkindle consists of multiple parts. The mobile app analyses the user’s emotions with the device camera and the Personal Image Classifier (PIC), trained to recognise facial expressions. The app categorises the users’ emotions as happy, worrying or peaceful. Enkindle’s artificial intelligence emotional chatbot, which uses the extended function of ScSpeechRecognizer, analysed user conversations. It works with Micro-bit to control the opening and closing of an artificial flower, guiding users in breathing exercises to relax. It also plays alpha-wave stress-relieving music and sprays aromatherapy to calm emotions.
The interior and exterior of the “Reusable Package Box” is coated with a nano-needle antibacterial layer. The coating price is affordable, and the coating is highly viscous, thus you can use water for easy cleaning You can fold the “Reusable Package Box ” for easy storage. Recipients can also return the boxes to a collection box and scan a barcode to collect the deposit. The collection box can be connected to the cloud to inform the courier company or online store to collect the boxes promptly.
“Adhering to our purpose of ‘Together for Tomorrow. Enabling People’, the new elements added this year strengthen students’ STREAM knowledge and 4C skills (Creativity, Critical thinking, Collaboration, and Communication). We hope that all the students will continue to develop their strengths and creativity and become leaders of tomorrow. I sincerely congratulate the winning teams and hope they can improve and develop their creative projects to bring positive societal change and innovate for a better Hong Kong,” added Zhao.
