Prototype
EvoScan
Doctors often complain that children's school bags
these days are far too heavy for their body size and
can cause serious posture problems. Also, students
often have problems organizing themselves for each
school day. A smart backpack would aim to remedy the
situation.
Making use of the widespread digitization of class
schedules, the EvoScan backpack would receive daily
updates on what the student needs for each class, via
a built-in minicomputer. Sensors would scan books
and teaching materials equipped with chips and match
them with information from the owner’s cell phone.
Different colored LED lights would show students if the
schoolbag is packed correctly, before they head to
school.
The system would be fully and sustainably powered by
solar energy and would have a port for using excess
energy to charge the cell phone.
This invention could reduce the morning stress in
many families and be a great help particularly for
younger children to become more independent.
