The builds
Revive & Connect
A plant monitor at a school greenhouse has stopped sending readings. Its owner can see it is switched on, but nothing reaches the phone. Is the sensor broken, the board, the Wi-Fi, or the code?

The Faraway Reading
Someone near you checks something that is far away: a water tank on a roof, a storeroom, a plant tray in a greenhouse. They walk there, look, and walk back. Most days nothing has changed.

The Live Dashboard
One reading says what is happening now. A hundred readings over a day say when it happens, how fast it changes and whether it is getting worse. The person who needs it has about ten seconds to look.

The Cloud Loop
A fan left running in an empty room. A pump nobody remembered to switch off. A light burning all night in a storeroom. Someone could switch it from their phone, if they could trust it.

The Sound Sorter
A kettle boils over while nobody is in the kitchen. A tap is left running. A machine in a workshop starts to rattle before it breaks. Each one makes a sound that someone nearby would want to know about.

Train It
Nobody writes a rule that says “this is a kettle”. Instead, a machine is shown examples, finds what they have in common, and is then tested on examples it has never seen. If the examples were poor, so is the machine.

Invent Your Product
Somewhere near you a problem needs something that senses, learns and reports: a store that runs out, a room that gets too hot, a machine that needs watching. Someone lives with it every day.

Flagship and extras
The Connected Product
A build works once, for the person who built it. A product works every day, for someone who has never met the builder. They unpack it, set it up and forget about it, until the day it tells them something.

The Venture
Plenty of good devices never reach anyone, because nobody asked whether people wanted them at a price. A venture starts by finding out, before making ten more.

Builds of the Week
The Anomaly Alert
Most alarms that go off are false. After a few, people stop listening. A good alert learns what normal looks like, and speaks only when something really is unusual.

Gesture AI
Some people can’t press a small button easily: their hands shake, or are full, or wet. A tilt or a wave could do the same job, if the device learns what that person’s movement looks like.

The Energy-Smart Device
A device that needs charging every night gets left in a drawer. People keep using the ones that last for weeks. Most of that time the device is asleep.
