How could your solution be instrumented, interconnected and intelligent? How will you know if you have solved the problem? How could this make money? Who would need to be involved? Being late to school Sometimes I am late for school but it isn’t my fault! Often my dad is out of bed late or is calling work mates on his phone. It means I’m not settled for the rest of the day and I don’t get to talk much to friend in form time. My tutor also has to open the register again just for me. Sensor to sound an alarm to wake up my dad and block his phone when I get out of bed. RFID tag on my school bag which registers me as I get into school. A list of roads that are clear to help me get to school on time. I will be on time for school and I will feel more calm. I’m sure other pupils have this problem and it could be sold to friends, schools and parents. Myself, my dad, school, the council.
