All hail to the new coach of youth of the year! Congratulations to an Andrew Cowan - a master of first-rate Gadget - who was named young engineer of the year in fair of the Big Bang the British Science Association. This was held in London to mark the start of week national science & engineering.
Andrew won the award for its search and Rescue Robot, which was built during his level of systems and Control courses at the primary school of Sutton. The project took two years.
In the picture is (l-r): Kate Bellingham (engineer and television presenter), Professor Brian Cox (physical particles and television presenter), Hannah Eastwood (young scientist of the year premio-ganador) and Professor John Beddington (Scientific Adviser to head of Government).
It is now a student at the University of Southampton, in the first year of an MEng degree in electronics and wireless communications, it holds with pride the University (the School of electronics and computer science).
The large tracked vehicle designed and built is designed for use in disaster areas and equipped a wireless camera (with inclination, panoramic and zoom), and a collection of wireless sensors, including the taking of gas samples, reports of the University.
About 20 microchips controlling all sensors, radio links and functions (including lights, a mermaid and water cannons). Powerful enough to pull a car, apparently, the robot weighs about 80 kg and is powered by two engines of 750 w.
"I feel very honoured and proud to be awarded a prestigious title," said Andrew. The standard of entries was so high that he made the incredibly tense final at times. "Now I really hope to representing engineering to young people and hope that my project inspires many others to do the same and pursue a career in engineering."
All the finalists
All engineer young finalists from Great Britain (a rival competition, note) was also announced in the Big Bang fair in London.
Aseem Mishra hull won the Group of 16-19 years of age with his pants of kit of drum that allow the user to beat out a rhythm of its legs.
Although a new project, technology was adapted from his project in light of drum where he won a Junior category in the same competition last year.
14 To 16 years of age, Hemang Rishi of Winchester won with an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner which can find their own way around a room with a number of sensors.
A team from Newry: Shea Quinn, Caolan Magee and Gavin Fox, came up between 12 and 14 años-edad with Assistant of CPR, which is an electronic device integrated into a thin blanket which is placed on the chest of the victims to guide a lifeguard by emergency reanimation procedure.
Alan Egan, Birmingham designed a multimedia router that allows that the content of several entries to be directed to multiple outputs through a simple and intuitive interface based on colour, which was awarded the Duke of York for most creative use of technology.
Intel also made an award, Roxanne Pollard of Bristol for its bicycle helmet that allows the user to indicate their presence and driving directions that maintain control of the bike while.
Casey Turner, Leigh Roberts, Darcie Lacey and Martha Gregory of Maltby were finalists in the 12-14 age group with Trickii Twister: a game that develops skills of ojo-coordinación of hand, but does not need batteries.
Went to Joe Costello of Cheltenham for Pal Pasta that "improves the process of cooking pasta or a boiled variety of food products", said the 16-19 former award year for manufacturing and finishing to the organizers.
For the age group of 14-16, manufacturing and finishing award went to Charles Barton of London for an alarm clock that uses light to simulate a natural dawn called sunlight.
There were also awards for product development and marketing that Luca Volpe won 16 to 19 years of age for the help of the staircase, a device that is attached to a second position as the recommended safe angle and to warn pedestrians of the presence of stairs.
Emily Bentley from the top of helmet cam in the same category of 14 - 16 años-edad with an alarm, originally designed and built for a child with mental disabilities to wear, which plays a melody if the child goes too far from the parentsallowing them to locate their missing children.
Another category of award was presented for the design, innovation and presentation
A beach boat sailing Simulator, Bleddyn Môn took home the award for 16-19 age group.
Between 14 and 16 years of age, Callum Lawson cam first with a kit of robotics education designed for the teaching of GCSE design and assistive technology and develop interest in programming.
The kit must be welded together and programmed by students who are a series of instructions and guides.
The ceremony was organized by Kate Bellingham, President of young engineers and physicist Professor Brian Cox
Both presented as prizes: Ken Sanders, President of young engineers; Ollie Althorpe, Executive Director of ST Microelectronics; Brian Fishwick, master of the great company of scientific instrument makers; and Stuart Ellins, Executive Director of young engineers.
You can read all the details of all the winners at the Web site show Big Bang. We say congratulations to all!
