Our project

Project VisionWe have designed a smart backpack that acts as a dedicated study companion for children. By integrating Micro:bit, an LED screen, a camera module, and voice recognition, the backpack can perceive a child's emotions—whether they are happy, angry, anxious, fearful, or sad. It provides gentle encouragement and comfort through its built-in speaker and tablet integration. Beyond emotional support, it assists with daily routines like storytelling, vocabulary practice, and task reminders, ensuring that school preparation becomes an organized and positive experience.How It WorksPower On: Toggle the Micro:bit switch (Keep off during class; turn on after school).Emotion Recognition: The camera module scans facial expressions, and AI determines the mood to provide appropriate feedback, helping children practice emotional awareness.Voice Interaction: The microphone analyzes the child's tone, encouraging them to practice dialogue, sharing, and oral expression.Smart Assistance: The backpack responds with a friendly voice to assist with storytelling, daily missions, and homework reminders.Interactive Display: The LED screen shows an animated face that responds to the "little owner's" questions and interactions.

Our inspiration

We created this project because we wanted a 'backpack that stays by our side'—not just to carry books, but to comfort our hearts. We believe technology should help students feel less lonely, stay focused, and face the challenges of learning with confidence and a stable mind.
