The Challenge | From Curious Minds Come Helping Hands
Your challenge is to design and build an innovative platform to integrate satellite data and information about vulnerable populations and environmental hazards in order to identify the most at-risk populations. Be creative and think outside the box. How will you identify those people that are often missed, but need aid the most?
Saving Sailors
We validate with the Brazilian Navy that vessels carrying people and vessels carrying cargo have an internal warning system in case of any problem or risk situation. But external warning (contacting the navy) is not automated. Often ships sink and get no h
When our physical system (hardware) detects that the ship is at risk it will send an automated warning to our virtual system (software). In addition to making it easier for navies around the world to monitor and rescue vessels, we will use this data to map accident-prone locations.
