Innovative Programme (IP) Project

Every NUS High Year 1 student has to do this IP project. It is about inventing an innovative product to help the elderly. My team members are Cyrus, Aik Wee, Miao Jing and me. The groups are chosen based on our birthdays i.e. the 4 youngest are in one group and the next 4 in another. Our product is a dustpan. We meet every Wednesday afternoon during the AXIS period (2 hours) to discuss the project. So far, we have made good progress. Our dustpan has a mirror to help elderly look under furniture without bending down, since the old people usually have back problem. It also has a torchlight which can be switched on to light up the area under the furniture, so that the tiny dirt or debris can be seen and swept away.

I think I have a good team as we are usually quite productive and we do not quarrel among ourselves, unlike another team. Cyrus is also a good leader as he is responsible and helps the team to brainstorm ideas.
