This is a cost effective and work efficient fingerprint door lock system 

This is a fingerprint door system solution. The way this system works is that it captures a photo of our finger ridges , and then it uses a certain algorithm to match it with stored data and display results of the same the next time the user inputs their finger and if the fingerprint is recognised, the door automatically unlocks itself and then starts a 5 minute countdown where it then  auto locks itself. This technology uses biometrics and arduino technology to operate .

People ussualy  go for padlocks as their main security lock systems in their homes not by choice but by the high cost of the alternative ways. Even though they know the dangers and hazards they can have , they still use the for lack of an alternative. I want to make an alternative for them. According to statistics done by the kenya administration police and directorate of criminal investigation, about 30-50 homes are invaded by robbers and burglars every day in Kenya. If a person is robbed from their house, they end up being bankrupt and some of them turn to crime so as to sustain themselves and their families while Some end up as street families due to lack of this sustainability.

I believe that community service and support to the people who are economically disadvantaged is the start to a sustainable world. This solution targets all kinds of people but specifically the people who are economically disadvantaged. 

I first consulted our school's STEAM workshop technician and told him of the idea and if it were relevant and possible. I then visited several homes that have expirienced the wrath of using a padlocks as the main security system for their homes I handed them a questionnaire and after analysis, 96% suggested that they would wish to have such gadgets. I then asked some of them to write a rough sketch of what they would want the product to look like so I could analyse the information to come up with the physical attributes of the products.  
 I also have tried to visit an outlet of this accessories but unfortunately could not allow me to get the data  I wanted on how their products come to be so costly.

social security-social security is one of the most fundamental things when one wants to achieve sustainability but the most ignored. Even the above challenges will be hard or even can not be achieved without social security 

When improving an already existing solution, one needs to conduct a lot of research both primarily and in secondary ways of collecting data in order for them to explore as many exist   solutions and then identify their strengths and weaknesses of the product so as to know how to generate a unique way to make your product.
 Strategic planning is also key in development of such products for it works as backbone for all the projects activities. 

This technology works on the technology of arduino. The  power supply is solar generated where it is then stored in a battery and can even be used to light a led bulb in the house. It also has both hardware and software aspects of technology because the fingerprint sensor has to be programmed in order to work efficiently.

this solution is expected serve about 50, 000 people before firmly establishing its roots in the industry where  we expect to double the number every year.

we look forward to improve  the quality by linking the system with a mobile app that when every time one tries to access or accesses the house, a photo of the person to the app - we will achieve this goal by using our incomes to strategically add the components to the system and also using our programming skills to do the app ourselves.

we will create a community of users where they can share their experiences on the use of the product where they can also share the difficulties and we can obtain evaluation from the community page.we can also get the progress by checking on the graph of buyers since launch.

buying the accessories that will take the photos and link them to the mobile app is the financial challenge that we face

I believe our team is well prepared since this is not the first project we have worked on . We have worked on a landslide detector that worked in a way that if it detects  a landslide, it sends a warning alert to a user in the form of a phone call and a text message , one could also connect it with their home alarm system and it would trigger the alarm where the project was successfully completed . So I believe we have the needed technical skills to kickstart and complete the project successfully. Mentorship on this journey  would also be a good thing for it would help us look at things in a dimension that we had not looked at.

N/A due to the reason that we not working with any people for now but we  are  open to organizations who are willing to joins us.

I have not applied for the hp girls prize

this is because I am passionate about making a positive impact in my community and the world  through the use of  technology in different ways
