Smart’ helmets to shoes: Children showcase innovations for a more inclusive world
Thursday, 23 November 2023 14 child innovators showcased 'smart solutions' for an inclusive world, including a sensor-laden helmet to curb helmet-less driving, gloves that send audio commands for disabled people, a 'hope arm' for para-athletes, a 'smart shoe' for the visually impaired, a 'step and sow shoe' for automatic seed dispensing, a real-time sign language translator, and a tech-enabled scarecrow. The exhibition was organized by Unicef and IGNCA to mark 'World Children's Day'. The students developed these innovative solutions with the guidance of their instructors at school.
On Saturday, the United States government announced plans to organise a charter flight for its citizens stranded in Haiti amidst escalating gang violence gripping the nation. Simultaneously, Guatemala reported that the offices of its honorary consul in Haiti were looted amid the ongoing clashes.
