Water Bottle fan

A group of young innovators from six hubs across (Media Organizations) East African Countries of South Sudan, Uganda and Kenya came together for ASKnet Training in Adjumani district of Uganda for 14 days in October, 2019. The training was conducted by r0g Agency for open culture and critical transformation through the financial support from German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

During the practical part of the training, this group came up with an idea of building a bottle water fan from scratch. Before we started, the team list the materials and tools needed to complete the project, and where collected in one place.

Self-learning connected thermostat that optimizes heating and cooling of buildings

[WORK IN PROGRESS]

This smart thermostat is an electronic, programmable, and self-learning Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat that optimizes heating and cooling of homes and businesses to conserve energy. It is based on a machine learning algorithm: for the first weeks users have to regulate the thermostat in order to provide the reference data set. The thermostat can then learn people's schedule, at which temperature they are used to and when. Using built-in sensors and phones' locations it can shift into energy saving mode when it realizes nobody is at home.

Geiger Counter - Radiation Sensor Board for Arduino

The main finality of the Radiation Sensor Board for Arduino and Raspberry Pi is to help people in Japan to measure the levels of radiation in their everyday life after the unfortunate earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in March 2011 and cause the nuclear radiation leakages in Fukushima. We want to give the chance to measure by themselves this levels instead of trusting in the general advises which are being broadcasted. The usage of this sensor board along with the affordable and easy to use Arduino platform helps people to get radiation values from specific places.
