Sheldon and Emerson as a team, were the winners for the
"Best Project Award for making our city lifestyle better" in the
"Hack the City" Smart City Hackathon organised by University of
Southampton, Malaysia, The Institute of Engineering and Technology and
Chumbaka. Hack the City was a 10-hour event which started at 9 am and ended at 7 pm, in which they learned about arduino, mobile apps and IOT.
Sheldon and Emerson designed a car park app for the mobile phone, which they
integrated with arduino for the sensors. They were the youngest, and had to
obtain prior approval from the organisers to participate in this event, as it
was meant for 13 years old and above. Some participants were college students
and adults. This project was conceived on the spot by Sheldon and Emerson and
done during the workshop.
