LUCE - A Light-up Carrying Equipment

description

The goal of this project was to create a wearable or mobile piece with sensors, using the Lego Mindstorm kit. My partner and I decided to make a backpack targeted towards elementary kids; the backpack acts as a security for the kid when they are walking home from school in areas that are not well-lit. The bag detects the light levels and it lights up accordingly. Additionally, blinking alert lights can also be activated by the kid. A touch sensor at the bottom detects when the bag is not in use and turns the whole bag off.
