Bluespark Innovations

It is my desire to use my innovative talent to create useful solutions in my immediate environment and the world at large. I intending to use the Elevate prize money to finish up innovations we have been working on as a team. One of these innovations is the Electric and solar powered automatic movable hand wash unit is a system that is automated, measures users body temperature and relays the information to a covid-19 control center it in real time through a mobile app. It is designed with recyclable materials and can be reassembled at any location within five minutes It helps to reduce the spread of diseases gotten through dirty hands(HAI) and covid-19. 

 Funding will also be used to setup a mini factory at our headquarters and we will produce this product and distribute it to hospitals, health centers and public places. We will also use the funding in training the public on how to use this units they will be provided with. The mobile app will also help users know the usage of the device. We will employ and train lots of youths to be able to setup the devices thereby reducing unemployment.

At an early age, I picked interest in aviation. Always running out of the house to see airplanes flying above. As I grew older, I saw my mother and other women around us cooking with firewood due to lack of electricity in our environment. So I vowed to design a machine that will generate electricity for individual households without using gasoline and its energy must be clean and recyclable. Today I have a complete design for this machine only that I need funding to construct a prototype.

My vision has not changed till date; design and produce innovative devices that solve peoples challenges in simple and unique ways, easy to use and cheap. 

This same vision has driven me to design three unique innovations today. I am presently constructing a prototype for one. 

I believe for every challenge there are multiple solutions. I am a team player. I love travelling and meeting people.

My present goals are;

Getting funding for my the team`s innovative designs at hand, partnering with international organization for production of these devices.

Run a short course on energy systems and electronics at MIT on scholarship.

Finish constructing prototypes for our top three designs.

Covid-19 brought about lots of problems and opportunities. From our research, a lot of people get infected with lots of diseases especially Hand wash Infections(HAI).

Our innovation is targeted at reducing drastically the diseases and deaths caused by HAI. 

The device is designed to be both solar and electricity powered depending on which energy source that is available at the location of use. It senses when a user gets to it. It dispenses liquid soap after sensing the users hand. It dispenses water when the user wants to wash his/her hand and dries the hand. It also measures the users temperature and sends the data to a control center via a mobile app without the user touching any part of the machine. 

The scope of our innovation is global. statistics show that 80 percent of the most common infections are spread by hand. In developed counties, HAI accounts for complications of 5-10 percent of admissions to acute care hospitals. In the US about 80,000 fatalities each year occur due to hand infections.

As an organization we are into solar energy systems installation and we design machines that solve problems in our environment in simple and unique ways.

A lot of people have built some hand wash units that can be seen on social media but a lot are not innovative and solution driven. We have taken our time to design and put certain features in place to make our solar powered hand wash unit unique and different. Below are the list of the device exceptional features in the design.

Solar and electricity powered which ensures wherever the unit is installed it will work.

The frame and body parts are designed to use environmentally friendly materials which are easy to replace.

It is movable. It comes with set of four tires that make the unit movable from one place to another.

It is detachable. The design ensures that there will be no need for cutting and fabrication at the location of use. The frame are easy to install into each other. The assembling will not take more than 10 mins. 

The water tank also has an internal water cleaner ensuring the water used for washing is always germ free.

The unit will have a face scanner that identifies any user with high temperature and sends the information to the control center via a mobile app.

It is the duty of every team leader in an organization to make sure that he's/her team or organization is making the intended impact in its environment. 

At Bluespark Innovations, we have certain plans and steps we have taken in order to create positive impact among people especially youths. such steps are outlined below:

In 2018, we organised training section in electronics for high school leavers in our immediate community. We trained them to be able to troubleshoot electronic systems and repair them. This will give them the opportunity to have skills they can use to feed themselves.

Presently we are also planning another set of skills acquition training for females in the solar energy(women in solar). This training will be effective because it will teach women how to generate electricity in their own homes especially for rural women whos children are in school and don't have access to electricity to read. We also want ladies to become relevant with technical solar skills so they can become relevant in their various communities and also be able to get jobs in the technical world.
