WINNERS
Beall Student Design Competition at the Samueli School
- 1st Place ($7,500):
Tag Team
Project Description: Tag, is a small BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) device designed to be used in conjunction with a smartphone. It engenders users to secure their belongings as well as send distress signals to their emergency contacts. The form-factor of Tag is such that it can be attached easily to the keychain or stick to any of the numerous personal effects a user carries in their everyday life e.g. briefcases, backpacks, bikes, wallets, laptops and even pets. The BLE device piggybacks on the phone’s GPS system to upload a tagged item’s location to the cloud. This allows users to track their belonging in real-time from any phone/desktop that they have access to, leverage the crowd-GPS network for Tag to find a stolen/lost item and have the peace of mind that their emergency contacts get immediate alerts incase they are in distress.
Students: Ali Shahbaz (team lead), Khwaja Hassan Ahmed, Neeraj Kumar - 2nd Place ($5,000):
