Meeting Young Minds @ BIT Project Show Media Preview

Wednesday, 21 February 2018, 1pm

Imagine how fun it would be to step into a different virtual classroom for each subject of every school day. Modeled against PAP Community Foundation (PCF)’s five learning domains - language, numerical, arts and creativity, social and motor skills, this preschool educational app provides a full curriculum of services such as interactive lessons through games, where children can see 3D objects in front of them. Real-time multiplayer games encourage teamwork and promote social skill development, and a point reward system can be exchanged for pets for a quicker assimilation of the subject being taught. Additionally, the app can also generate data analytic reports from the students’ performance to assist teachers in evaluation at parent-teacher meetings, which are usually only based on teacher’s observations. The project team have shared their ideas with PCF Sparkletots Preschool and received positive feedback. 

This is just one of some 25 final-year projects developed by the graduating students of TP’s Business Information Technology (BIT) course which will be on showcase to the public on Wednesday, 21 February 2018 from 2-5pm.

Other student projects include the following:

Wearable Technology for Safer Sporting Events

TechHealth tracks the pulse rate of participants of sporting events or mass exercises such as Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) via a device worn during the activity, and alerts the users to stop exercising when they are deemed likely to collapse. Organisers will be alerted to render help through the mobile app and locate these participants using GPS. Participants can also seek help using the emergency button on the device.

Enabling Quicker Intervention with the Allergy Detective

A.Tracker is a mobile app designed for allergy sufferers to record possible allergy triggers and symptoms and identify possible correlations through simple visuals and data mining. Users can request for their data mining report through the mobile application while doctors can access the report from A.Tracker's website to offer advice to their patients.
