It’s that time of year again where we get our creative juices flowing for the annual RAPDASA Design Competition. The theme for our 2023 competition is as follows:
IOT solution in your Home
Design Competition Introduction
With the use of an Arduino / ESP32 / Edu:bit or similar microcontroller boards, you are required to demonstrate, by scaled functional control systems, as many applications of the implementation of the IOT into an ordinary home. Additional parts can be included to your microcontroller, using the list of items indicated below. The programming and artificial intelligence, as well as the implementation of electromechanical hardware of the system can be as large as your imagination.
Send a 1 minute video (even a stitched together series of clips, based on reusing of components) demonstrating your Smart solution on Whatsapp +27 66 242 0134. On the decision of the committee, the top Smart solution participants will be able to attend the conference on the day to present their solutions and for the award ceremony (registration costs will be covered).
