Team name	Project Name	Logo	Topic	Short description	Team Leader	Students involved	Report	Photos	Code /Assets
(1) Team Deez Nodes	Deez Nodes		Forest Fire Monitoring With Wireless-Sensor-Networks	Problem: Burning of forests contributes to 4.8 billion tons of carbon that is released into the atmosphere. These fires are often caused by humans to make space for agriculture, most of which is done illegally. Solution: Deez Nodes has developed a wireless sensor network to help governments and other organizations combat this issue. The node system monitores forests, detecting possible fires and notifying other nearby nodes towards a central receiver, where the data can be processed and authorities can be notified.

(2) Red Bull Racing Honda	Mosquito-proof smart home		Moquito-borne diseases	Problem: The spreading of diseases is influences largely by climatic conditions such as temperature and humidity, e.g. higher biting rates and longer optimal breeding seasons for mosquitos & Solution: Check humidity, windspeed and temperature conditions inside and outside the house, which can potentionally activate “lockdown” protocol where for example windows and curtains are closed	Hielke Veenstra	Denisa Boasca, John de Zwart, Hielke Veenstra, Nina Vroom, Rafael Teotonio Pedrosa, Door Kolkman, Tjeerd Verschuren	Report	Photos	Code
(3) reflACTION	Smart mirror		Air pollution and human health	Problem: Air pollution has a big impact on the health and is especially a problem in big cities, where there is more pollution and people still have to go outside & Solution: A smart mirror with daily information on whether there is a need to wear a mask in the city they are in, based on airpollution, smog, CO2 levels and PM10, and an ambiguous version showing more information, e.g. type of transportation to take and what to wear	Marije Rekker	Luce Zoontjens, Valentijn Embrechts, Jelle Brouwer, Marije Rekker, Luca Andrei	Report		Code
(4) McLaren team 4			Smart Bin Project	Problem: Trash is often disposed of in the incorrect place and is therefore not separated properly. This results in materials being sent to landfill that could have otherwise been reused. Solution: A smart disposal system that allows users to check the correct location for their garbage at the point of throwing the item away. By scanning the barcode on a product, the system will light up coloured LEDs on the trash bin the product belongs in. If an item does not have a barcode, a screen will be available to check a list of images for the correct placement.

(8) JJJJAZD	Smart Flooding Prevention		Flooding in sewage system	Description:Preventing strain on sewage system during times of heavy rain by implementing two types of water sensors to alert sewage workers where possible flooding will occur. & Problem: There is poor water management and an increase of rainfall which causes strain to the current sewage system & Solution: Measure the water level and water flow inside a pipe to sense a blockage and a warning signal will be sent out	Jacelynn Moesker	Anica Krüger, Dimitar Yoloski, Jacelynn Moesker, Zalfa Imtinan, Justen ter Horst, Jonathan Jeuring , Jan Kröger	Report	Photos	Code
(9) Snow White			Energy consumption in households	Problem: Fossil fuel consumption is a big issue in climate change and households often rely on them & Solution: A window that will automatically shut itself, based on temperature and air humidity, and energy will be conserved	Anne van Esch	Lieke Zoetelief, Nienke Dik, Julia Kersten, Hana Sinkovic, Milou de Zwaan, Anne van Esch, Ewoud Janus	Report	Photos	Code
(10) Force India	TreEnergy		Harvest wind energy from trees	Problem: Powering climate sensors in remote places can be difficult & Solution: By the movement of trees due to wind, energy is harvested by attaching a pentagonal arrangement of rope that drive a dynamo	Olivier Donker	Olivier Donker, Arthur Wijnen, Janine Ruumpol, Sem Bakker, Demi van Bommel, Marta Corrado	Report		Code
(11) Aston Marin	Floating Waterquality Monitoring System		Locate the waterpolutant	Problem: Water pollution is hard to detect, so you can't solve the problem at the source. & Solution: A floating water quality instrument that measures pH and can send its GPS and data wirelessly to a reciever. The results can be analyzed to detect environmental problems and take preventive action to address the likely causes.

(19) Flotilla	BayWatch		River pollution	Problem: As it currently stands, rivers are being polluted at a rate at which human survival is threatened. The main reasons why this occurs is because multi-billionaire companies are getting away with throwing their waste into the rivers and because the reaction time for clean-up teams is extremely long. Solution: The smart buoy, dubbed “BayWatch”, is a stationary buoy that sends readings of the water body it is in to a server, which in turn sends an email when these readings become abnormal for river standards.

(20) Save the Turtles	Flooding Prevention		Flooding in sewage systems	Problem: There is poor water management and an increase of rainfall which causes strain to the current sewage system. Solution: Measuring the water height with an ultrasound sensor inside a pipe to sense a blockage. Then create a visual map of the system to locate the blockage easily.
