The international social project started last year. Initiatives of young people supported the leadership of the region, industrial enterprises. Just a year the project received recognition and expanded geography, this year came the team from Russia. It took 72 hours for 10 teams consisting of engineers, students, robots and IT professionals to create prototypes that make life easier for nidovards or end-users.

The team of the Kazakh National University. Al-Farabi from Almaty initially planned to create for her deaf-mute ward a smart bracelet, however instead of one invention the young people presented two at once. The first project of the team is "Smart Bracelet", translating the surdo information into the reproduction by voice. Only about $ 20 was spent on manufacturing it.

DANABAY TURGUNBOEV, Master of the al-Farabi Kazakh National University:

This glove allows deaf-mute people to talk with ordinary people. Materials were all bought at the radio shop. Gloves, medical tubes in pharmacies.

"We made a smart bracelet and a smart glove." The bracelet is called a "helper" and the glove is a "glu si plus." Our nidivor, with whom we worked, can not hear and speak. His main problems are: he does not hear the doorbell , signals of cars, trams.This is very problematic for Pavlodar, besides he can not call ambulance, police, firemen.We made three SOS-buttons in the bracelet.When he, for example, calls the police, three automatic messages are recovered: one - family, the second - a social worker, and the third - to the police, "- said the second-year doctoral student of Al-Farabi KazNU Askar Askerov.

According to the engineer, the team had a little time to finish their invention.


"We also wanted to introduce GPS so that when a person sends a signal, we could definitely know where he is and that he urgently needs help." Also an intelligent bracelet tells the owner about the boiling kettle and the doorbell, "- the inventor added.


The second project of the team - the cheapest in the world "smart glove", which allows voicing the gestures of deaf-mute people.

"In this case, we did not have a goal to create something that does not exist in this world.We invented the cheapest prototype.Our graduate students thought for a long time that as a result the total cost of the product amounted to 19 dollars 67 cents or 6 220 tenge.We understand, that with new technologies there is nothing that is not possible.The main thing is that a person can afford this device.Our glove can be used not only by the deaf, but also by people with other disorders: with cerebral palsy, which results in speech loss, autistics. necessary . Rammny code Our programmer Ernar Zholdassov did it for two days and got six in the morning to finish the project, we decided that all you can program up to two thousand different gestures that would have sounded gloves should only talented programmers " - Askar Askarov.
