Team Nova - Best in Cyber-Technology & Security

Pegasus Schools, Eket
DANIEL LEWIS, UDEME BASSEY, USO ETUKUDOH, DANIEL ANAELE and JEFFREY NWANGWU.

“Counterfeit goods are the single biggest threat to various industries. Stealing sales and diluting brand reputations, the global fake goods market is worth over $450 billion. In Europe and Africa, clothing, footwear, skincare, hair products and accessories industries lose approximately €26.3 billion (roughly $27.7 billion) in revenue annually from counterfeit goods, according to EU statistics, which in turn leads to employment losses of 518,281 and a loss of €8.1 billion in government revenue. We, Team Nova therefore developed a software and an app that can be used to curb the issue of counterfeit goods. “

Team Revolutionists - Best in Aerospace & Aviation

Pegasus Schools, Eket
AKPANWAN BILLY, ELISHA AKPAN, GIDEON MONDAY and DAVID EDOHO.

“In our world today transportation is evolving day by day. Even though air transportation has significantly improved the safety of travellers, the casualties resulting from any disaster is usually high (almost 100%). This is the reason why team revolutionist is here, to reduce the death of people on airplanes especially the ones flying over water. We came together to re-engineer the engines of an airplane to adapt to different conditions (air, on and under water) especially in the event of a disaster. “

Holy Child College, Ikoyi UDOM ENOBONG AUGUSTA, OSIYOKU OLUWAFOLAYEMI ANJOLA, ONONUJU CHIDERA ANNE, SOMOYE ABIOLA ELIZABETH and CHUKWUNENYE KOSISOCHUKWU EMMANUELLA.

“We chose the category ”Health and Nutrition” because we want to eradicate malnutrition in children. We realized that malnutrition does not only occur as a result of not eating but also, as a result of not eating the right food containing essential nutrients. A lot of children are dying from malnutrition worldwide especially in Africa and we also sadly see a lot of them in our country. This fact motivated us as a team to make a product which we call the ‘’ LIFE TREE SUPPLEMENT. We have encountered so many challenges but God has seen us through. “

Team Pissolo

Pegasus Schools, Eket.
ADEGBOYEGA ATIBA, DAVID JOSEPH, EDIOMO AMOS, KELVIN BENSON and KELVIN BENSON.

“Energy remains Africa’s biggest problem and Nigeria, our country and Africa’s largest population and biggest economy falls miserably short on all energy indices starting from generation, transmission, and distribution. We believe everyone has a part to play in the solution, starting with ourselves. We are Team Pissolo – a waste management, and clean energy company – and we intend to collect, store, pipe and process urine into hydrogen fuel for the generation of electricity. Our process will also produce nitrogen and carbon dioxide as by-products which we can collect for use in fertilizer manufacturing and the processing of food and beverages. However, our focus for a start is developing technologies and techniques for the management of human waste and the generation of electricity. “

Team Rigour

Greensprings School, Lekki
ANON JOHN, AMINU-MUSA SADIQ, AJAO OBALOLUWA and ONYEACHOLEM RAPHAEL.

“The team decided to specialize in cyber space and security at our first team meeting and named the group Team Rigour because the name reflects the nature of what we are about to do facing this competition. Given our interest in promoting a safer online environment, we decided to address cyber security crimes like identity theft, phishing and pharming. Thus, we researched popular problem-solving tactics for spam messages, spam ads and spam calls and then infused our own and other existing solutions to form a type of defense called multi-layer gate. We created a multi-layer for each problem and commenced business research to discover the market plan and ventures. We were able to analyze our competitors and boost the feasibility of our app. Prototype without coding was designed with the proto.io app maker application. Afterwards, we received an email from CONRAD Nigeria that we made it to the final. We appreciate the opportunity to express our business skills with the aim of reducing or eradicating the risk of data security to the barest minimum. We really appreciate it. “

Team The MOTR Initiative

Dansol High School, Ikeja.
RUTH OLOTU, MOJOLAOLUWA OLAJIDE, TIRENIOLUWA MALAOLU and OOREOLUWA OGUNLOLU.

“We are a team dedicated to solving one of the greatest problems we have in the world today: Climate Change. We at The MOTR Initiative know that from recent data collection, the rate of climate change has increased drastically over the past 15 years and we have an idea that will revolutionize planet conservation as we know it. We call it The Plant Photosynthesis Synthesizer. The idea came about as a result of the brilliant thinking of our Chief Research Officer, Ooreoluwa Ogunlolu. During the course of our registration we thought to ourselves, “In what way can we solve one of the world’s most chronic problems, Climate change” Ooreoluwa then asked “Why can’t we just plant more trees”. But the thing is, no one has that kind of time anymore and not everyone is willing to employ labour that can actually properly take care of those plants. So that’s where our idea comes in. The PPS is designed such a way the world has never seen before and we hope that with this idea, we can reduce the rapid rate of climate change in the world. So join us as we begin our journey in revolutionary Science and Technology. “

Team Renewers

Pegasus Schools, Eket.
GRACIOUS RICHARD, UYAIABASI AKPAN, CHELSEA NSIMA, BLESSING ITAKETO and PRISCILLIA OWEN.

“When you carefully analyze the world's needs, you will discover that there is one major thing that the world needs and can benefit from… its “People”. Let us face the truth, it is not electricity, flying cars or how to talk to animals, it’s the people, especially those that did not have the best of luck in life health wise. That is what our purpose is, to make technology for the less fortunate so that they can have a better life. We built a Limb Enabling Device (LED) to help the paralyzed, senior citizens and anyone who has problems with free movement. The technology needed to achieve this might be hard and complex, but we see no limits. “

Team Atlantis

Pegasus Schools, Eket.
ENOBONG ETUKUDO, MEDARA UMANA, ANITA GOMINA and ESTHER PETER.

“Team Atlantis is made up of 8th graders who are ready to take on the world. When we hear CONRAD CHALLENGE, we think of inventions that could benefit mankind and ideas that could take technology to the next level. Hence, the idea of a water body purifier was born. A machine that works with the mechanical principle of water filters but with a twist...using a modified reverse osmosis water filter system. Although water dispensers and filters are used today to filter contaminated water, it is not available to anyone who is less privileged and lives in rural communities. Besides, the cleanliness of water purified via this means is not always guaranteed. That is why Team Atlantis has come up with this project so everyone has access to clean water.“

FASHIPE MORENIKEJI OMOTONI, OSUMILI CHIAMAKA OBIELUMANI, NWOKOLO GABRIELLA AWULICHUKWUKA, MOKWUNYE DUMEBI VALLERIE-ANGEL and JOHNSON OLUWASEUN EMMANUELLA.

“The name trionix was chosen by the group members because we know robotics is taking over our generation and we needed something for it. We named the application Platinium Wall because it will act as an obstacle to fraudsters and hackers. The application (Platinum Wall) is a software for mobile phones that can block hackers of personal accounts or online files, documents and information. Platinum Wall is the application that can help users to use their phones and internet save from hackers or intruders. A mastermind application that consists of biometric sensors and Artificial Intelligence. It declines intruders’ access into your personal and valid information. It is an application that can block installed applications and online accounts. “

Team Intercept

Pegasus Schools, Eket.
CALEB DAVID OJOCHEBE, PEARL OTOMFON, CHIDIMMA AJAYI, ESTHER ANAELE and TERRENCE UDOMA.

“Our project: Bioplastics The world has produced over nine billion tons of plastic since the 1950s. 165 million tons of it are in our ocean and about 9 million more tons enter each year. Plastics pollute the environment or sit in landfills, where it can take up to 500 years to decompose while leaching toxic chemicals into the ground. These are only some of the problems caused by plastic pollution on earth. We therefore intend to create a compostable alternative to synthetic plastics, which can last long and serve its purpose as effectively as traditional plastics. It will be made from commercially available organic materials and will possess all the necessary qualities of plastics including strength, flexibility and longevity, with the bonus of being naturally degradable and environmentally friendly. “

Team Bio

Pegasus Schools, Eket.
JOEL TITUS OKON, EMEM CELESTINE OROK and NERYAH OLOMUYOUVBE.

“Looking at the fashion industry we see that everyday clothes are being made and being one of the basic human requirements it is bought everyday by people. The problem is that most of these clothes are not degradable and the dig notable ones are very expensive. We Team Bio have found a way to make not just biodegradable but cheap clothes. This is because the raw material for these clothes are gotten from locally available materials. We believe that with this discovery, we are the future of fashion industry. “

Team Atomic No. 6

Greensprings School, Lekki.
AKACHUKWU EGBOSIMBA, UWADIAE GUOBADIA, KOREWA ADEKUNLE, KOSISOCHUKWU OKOYE and OLUWATONI AIYEOLA.

“Together, as a team, we have worked hard on our idea, the Electro-Decarbonator, which is a device that we designed to be used to stop and get rid of the carbon dioxide from the exhaust pipes of generators. It does this through the use of chemical reactions instead of filters. Our device is connected to the generator exhaust pipe to begin work. Carbon dioxide from the exhaust pipe goes into a tube where it would meet carbonic acid to get rid of its soot. The fumes would later calcium hydroxide (lime water). The lime water is constantly pumped through the device. Once lime water and carbon dioxide meet, they react to form calcium carbonate. This compound then goes to the electrolysis system and it is separated into carbonic acid and calcium hydroxide. The calcium hydroxide goes back to the start to react with more carbon dioxide and the carbonic acid goes back to the start and is sprayed into the fumes of the exhaust pipe to get rid of the soot in it. “

Team Starfly

Holy Child College, Ikoyi.
NWANKWO CHISOM, SOLOMON GOLDEN, OKOLI VIVIAN and EZIKEOHA NMESOMA.

“We are a team that is made up of future Physicians, Architects and Software Designers [Engineers]. Interestingly, aside being in the science field, we discovered early enough that we have one thing in common – the desire to create/transform ideas into reality. The name of our product is Syntravice. The device is designed to tackle mainly air pollutants and air toxic wastes. The idea behind this innovation is based on the fact that air pollution constitutes a greater percentage of environmental health hazards witnessed in every nook and cranny of our community. Our device aims at reducing and eliminating the harmful effects of these pollutants and similar toxic gases in the environment. Syntravice is cost effective. The device is also powered by solar energy. Please invest in our product (Syntravice). Thank you very much. “

Holy Child College, Ikoyi.
MOGAHA DANIELLA AWELE, CHIBUIKE-UGORJI VANESSA, OLADIRAN OLAMIPOSI VICTORIA, OLARERIN KANYINSOLA MABEL, and IGWE BENITA CHINEMEREM.

“Hallogen means bright light. Team Hallogen is a very unique team with a group of 5 simple, curious, creative, and innovative female minds. We are delighted to bring our ideas to the world through the CONRAD challenge. We were able to share ideas despite our individual differences. We selected the category Energy and Environment because of the challenges we are facing in Agriculture in Nigeria (Excess Nitrogen in the soil, crops and plants). NEUTROGEN is a neutralizer of excess Nitrogen in the soil and it reduces the acidity of the soil. NEUTROGEN is in crystalline form which can be applied to the soil during planting. We discovered that there is excess nitrogen in the soil and we made NEUTROGEN. It contains little or no percentage of nitrogen but has other essential nutrients required by plants. NEUTROGEN reduces the percentage of nitrogen in the soil. The advent of this product will boost food production and increase foreign reserves. “

Team Fit

Pegasus Schools, Eket.
ESSEABASI AMBROSE, IDONGESIT BASSEY, GOODNEWS EFFIONG, GOODNEWS EFFIONG and DUMEBI DURU.

“Team Fit's idea is aimed at people of all shapes and sizes, from the very fit people to the grandmother trying to build enough strength to pick herself up after a fall. Our idea is to create a sensor for scanning food in accordance with an app that works on all kinds of smart watches and phones. This sensor will be attached to the port found in the smart watch or phone before it is used. The sensor will be used to determine the freshness, calories, germs, etc. of the food. It will also tell if the food will cause great harm or not to the eater, amongst others. After the sensor scans the food, information about the food will be displayed on your phone or smart watch through the app. The app will have the personal information about the user like weight, body temperature at different times, blood pressure and the likes. Also, the app will give suggestions on healthy foods that could be taken when an individual is not feeling well or is unfit. “
