Competitions

UBC Design League 2022

Competed in the technical prompt in a team of 4 to model the Voxelab Aquila 3D-Printer and designed upgrades in CAD within 30 hours. We made essentially everything from scratch in SolidWorks, with the exception of fasteners. Created our own t-framing to match the given specifications, and found dimensions online to create a 1-1 replica. While, we did not quite finish all the fine details on time, we got the major components done. Below are images of our CAD design.

GCES UpStart 2022 - Honourable Mention

In a team of 4, competed in the first engineering and entrepreneurship combined competition. This competition was open to all engineering and computer science students across Canada and my team received an honourable mention. We were given about 24 hours to design a solution to an issue in sustainability,  healthcare, or inclusivity. My team decided to work on a problem in inclusivity and came up with the "Bat Cane". We created a smart white cane for the visually impaired to navigate the city with confidence. We implement LiDAR to detect obstacles above the ground that would otherwise be missed by a traditional white cane. Also, using our "3D Haptic Feedback" we are able to guide users throughout the city using GPS combined with vibration and pressure feedback. Our haptic feedback also helps notify users of obstacles. Lastly, we added a gyroscope and fall detection to assist elderly users.
