Our project

The project is an innovative earthquake bed using micro:bit technology to detect seismic activity and provide a secure space for individuals during earthquakes. This project enhances disaster preparedness and personal safety with reliability, speed, and adaptability to different sleeping environments.

Our inspiration

This global goal was chosen to improve safety and resilience in urban environments, particularly during earthquakes. By developing an earthquake life-saving bed that detects seismic activity and provides a secure space, the project aims to protect individuals while they sleep, enhancing disaster preparedness and personal safety.
