DMGS Students Design Visual Aid Projects, Clinches First Position in Anambra Tech Competition

Students of Dennis Memorial Grammar School (DMGS) Onitsha has made a mark at the just concluded Young Scientists and Future Innovators Exhibition, organized by the Faculty of Physical Sciences, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.

The trio, comprising Nwafor Paschal, Chinwuba Bethel, and Nwogu Daberechi, showcased two impressive projects: “Smart Google” for the blind and a smart home automation system called “Ti-Bot.”

Their “Smart Google” project utilizes an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles, sending sound waves to a buzzer that alerts the blind person. This innovative solution has the potential to significantly improve the daily lives of visually impaired individuals.
