Four female pupils have come up with a possible solution to address obstructive parking experienced in many major cities in the country.
The pupils developed an innovative application (app), called Frostbits, to be useful in cities such as Lagos with its use of location sensors, database, and the app inventor’s interface and more.
The four pupils from Princeton College, Surulere, Lagos under the tutelage of New Horizons Computer Learning Centres Ltd, the school’s information communications technology (ICT) partner, emerged African regional winner for this year’s Technovation contest. The contest was held at Pan Atlantic University, Lagos.
The app came first in the ‘Senior Division Regional 2019 Technovation competition. The app developers are Daniella Ekekwe (Grade 11); Gbopemioluwa Olukoga (Grade 11); Victory Yinka-Banjo (Grade 11); and Tanyalouise Ekekwe (Grade 12).
According to them, users can easily park their cars without worrying about interference from other drivers.
Speaking on the development, Education Director, Princeton Schools, Dr Dolapo Bankole said: ”Our emphasis in Princeton School is to produce pupils with 21st Century skills in sciences and technology, so that students from our school can compete effectively with their counterparts in Europe, America and Asia.”
