2026

This project is designed to be a cheaper alternative to pre-existing solutions, aiming to be both cheaper and easier to install. Solutions such as desalination plants are extremely expensive to run. so this project is aimed to be a easy solution to this issue, directly targeting the consumer to help them subconsciously alter their bad habits into positive habits.

ShowerSense is a strong and very relevant idea, especially because it focuses on everyday habits rather than large, expensive infrastructure.

You might also explore ways to reward or celebrate water-saving behaviour. Gentle feedback, small milestones, or even playful rewards could make the experience more positive and motivating, rather than feeling like a restriction. Framing conservation as something satisfying or fun could help people stick with better habits over time.

Stair Energy Generator (SEG)

Over 45 countries experience ten or more power outages per year, with Bangladesh experiencing 248 a year, and over 70% of consumed energy per year is either Coal, Oil, or natural gas. The world needs cleaner energy, which can be easily built/installed in any country. This has led me to design a product that can capture wasted energy through the action of traversing a set of stairs and store it for later use.To assist in the development of this project, advice/support in energy generation (piezoelectric, electromagnetic generator, electric motor, Triboelectric Nanogenerators), Material research, electronics (energy storage), and Mechanical Engineering.

Water Dissolvable PLU Apple Stickers

Tens of billions of PLU fruit stickers are discarded each year, contributing to non-biodegradable waste and increasing landfill pressure in NSW. Currently, 100% of fruit sold in major supermarkets uses plastic-coated, non-compostable stickers.This project is proposing a Sustainable, water-dissolvable PLU sticker based on existing Pink Lady apple branding. The sticker will need to maintain strong adhesion, withstand moisture and transport conditions, and function effectively at checkout.This solution aims to reduce everyday plastic waste at its source while maintaining supermarket practicality.I am seeking support in processes and materials that will allow for functionality of this product.

Supporting the recovery and pain relief of acute musculoskeletal-based shoulder injuries

To design and create a product which will promote a more efficient and pain-free recovery process for acute musculoskeletal-based shoulder injuries primarily, but may also be used to treat bone-based injuries. Furthermore, this project will aspire to aid the recovery of these injuries by supporting the muscles at a sustained and efficient rate for optimal recovery. Additionally, it will make use of best practice temperature-based recovery techniques, providing both heat and icing options. Furthermore, the brace's design will combat equity-based issues, allowing all demographics to access this product, such as low SES, youth, adults, beginner or cognitive athletes and more.
