The Cork Space Apps challenge will take place in University College Cork and an 18th century historic waterworks. The engineering marvel of the huge steam engines and turbines that pumped water into Cork city we hope will inspire our teams to develop amazing projects. The old waterworks is now a science education and resource centre called Lifetime Lab. The centre regularly hosts science and engineering events for the public, so we're planning to engage the community of Cork by also hosting an open day on Sunday April 13th to introduce the general public to the science of space.The contrast of the 18th century waterworks machines and the Space Apps Challenge teams will give a unique atmosphere to the open day as well as the weekend as a whole. Ireland prides itself in the large number of successful projects that it has sent to space as part of its membership of the ESA, and we suspect our teams will aim just as high.The principal organizers of the Space Apps Challenge are also science PhD graduates with a passion for projects, technology and space.

The following projects were worked on at Cork:
-
Obstacle avoidance Robot with surveillance capability
Project Members from this locationThis robot built using Raspberry Pi uses the sensors to to sense the obstacles around the area and would accordingly avoid the obstacle and avoid collision. The video camera would be used for surveillance and would run as when an obstacle is encountered and hence stores this pictures in the me... Visit Project

Improving the efficiency of an internal combustion engine with an Electrolytic Cell
Project Members from this locationThe aim of the project is to raise the efficiency of a internal combustion engine, while also reducing the emissions produced . Modern petrol engines have a maximum thermal efficiency of about 25% - 30%. In other words, 70-75% is rejected as heat without being turned into useful work,e.g turni... Visit Project

M.A.D.- The Medical Administration Device
Project Members from this location-The primary aim of our project is to create a sterile, economical and risk-free method of administering various medications. The solution we have devised is relatively simple- a wearable wristband. This wristband would avail of all new and upcoming technologies such as Bluetooth Smart, micro-... Visit Project
