IoT - Internet of Things
The 2019 competition is open to ELSA member schools and non-member schools alike. A participation fee of 140€ is required of non member schools to cover the cost of the final. Please get in touch with ELSA executive secretary for details.
STEAM for the Future
Our purpose is to motivate young minds in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. We emphasize the STEAM education to strengthen the younger generation in the fast growing, technically and technologically challenging world. This call is for all future Scientists, Technologists, Engineers, Artists and Mathematicians. We invite you to submit projects that are based on Arduino/ Raspberry pi/Particle Photon/Micro bit etc.
Project theme (Internet of Things-IoT)
In this competition, the students will work on a project, which drives them to explore the STEAM fields and discover the hardware & the software aspect of the embedded system. The project must address an issue related to the topic of home automation, pollution controls, smart health monitoring system, Robotics or explore other relevant applications and propose a solution & built a prototype based on micro-controller/processor to address the issue.
