Entries are open until 31 March 2027.
What is the Internet of Everything?
Imagine a world where everything around you is connected to the internet. Not just your phone or computer, but your watch, your shoes, your fridge, and even your toothbrush! This is what we call the Internet of Everything.
The Internet of Everything is like a giant invisible web that connects all things, people, data, and processes. It’s like a big team where everyone and everything works together, sharing information and making decisions.
In this competition, students are asked to design a concept or prototype for an Internet of Everything product and showcase it through a video submission.
Real-life examples of Internet of Everything include:
- Smart homes: imagine your alarm clock wakes you up and then automatically tells your coffee maker to start brewing coffee
- Wearable devices: devices like smartwatches can monitor your health, track your location if you’re lost, and even let you make phone calls or send messages
- Smart cities: streetlights that turn off when it is light outside, or traffic lights that adjust based on road conditions
- Connected cars: cars can communicate with each other to avoid accidents. They can also tell you when they need repairs or even call for help if there’s an emergency
The Internet of Everything isn’t just about smart devices; it’s about connecting everything to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable. It’s like a superpower that lets us make objects work together - but we must use this power responsibly and safely. That’s why this competition has returned – for students to be able to showcase a product with potential real impact.
Why encourage your students to join the competition?
Participating in this competition will allow students to:
- network with industry leaders
- enhance their computer science knowledge
- showcase their talent: stand out on future university or job applications
We can’t wait to see all the things your students come up with!
