2nd Prize (Best Poster Award)

Competing with a global pool of participants, these 3 boys represented Singapore and flew all the way to MIT and clinched the 2nd Prize for the Best Poster Award - a FIRST for Singapore! Their app and poster was based on the rise of ride-hailing services and their associated risks, where the team sought ways to monitor and  improve passenger safety. And so came the app “Roadsafe — A Better Driving Initiative”, which allows ride-hailing companies to objectively measure their drivers’ performance and safety profile. 

Under the guidance of their tutors, the team set about working judiciously on their app and poster for the conference, which utilised Data Analytics to build a mathematical model to rate drivers’ performance using data collected from mobile phone sensors.

Always energetic and inquisitive, these boys have truly done Singapore proud and they have never failed to impress their tutors during their App Inventor and Advanced Computer Scientist classes. Keep it up!
