After the second day we went to evergreen for observing and sharing elderly’s problems, now it’s time to make a project that can help the elderly to solve the problem.

My team, team three also known as soulmat3 team build a tools named PrevenThief. PrefenThief is a tools that can help the Elderly acknowledge who is coming, such as Official from evergreen or not. As we know some people can do disguise to steal the elderly’s stuff.

This system can notify the elderly whether a person who coming are official or not. This system use a card with QRCode as an access to visit and notify the elderly with a voice command. This system also have a sonar sensor that can detect a person on front of the door, and then the camera in front of the door can grab a picture of a person who stands in front of the door in 5 seconds with 7m of distance. So we can acknowledge who are the person come to visit the elderly’s home.

On this project, I learn about how to help other people with the problem that they have with the best solution and effort. And also I learn how to work with other people, even from the other country like Singapore’s student especially RP’s student. We can share our experience, our mind, our knowledge, our idea, and so on.

On the second day we were attended the briefing By Jason Tey at LT-W2 in Republic Polytechnic at 10:00 am until 11:30 am. On that briefing, we met another TF Scholars from Politkenik Caltex Riau, Myanmar, and Cambodia. That day was the first day for us to go to Republic Polytechnic. The campus has a great view and is very clean, as I know the campus called green campus.

After we attended the briefing we went to the classroom to brainstorm, discussing and prepare the presentation to be shared with the senior management at the dinner launch to be facilitated by the school staff leaders of the programme. We were also make a group, to do a project. Each group have 7-8 people. We were divided into five groups.

Before that we were doing some campus tour, RP student guided us to look around the Republic Polytechnic.

At 05:00 pm – 05:30 pm we did the presentation of the different culture, our first impression in Singapore and of course our motivation, our goal to join this programme. At 17:30 we were invited to have buffet dinner at Republic Polytechnic with the other TF Scholars. I am very happy that day, since I got new friends from another country, and especially from Republic Polytechnic. They are all funny, kind, and very friendly, so I feel close to them quickly. In the evening we went to Causeway Point to buy some foods, and we were accompanied by the Republic Polytechnic’s student. Woaaah thank you RP’s student, you are all very kind !!!
