DP wins cyber junkyard challenge
A
team from Daniel Pienaar THS has taken top spot in a competition to test technical skills with an energy management programme for a home on a miniature scale.
Triston Zaaiman, Eben van Zyl, Omri Jacobs and Charl van der Merwe beat teams from further education and training colleges in the Siemens Junior Cyber Junkyard Challenge hosted by Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. The miniature home that they fitted with sensors, geyser timers, light and other switches and programmed to be run as efficiently and effectively as possible was rated by the judges as being of “a very high standard”. “I believe there is a strong possibility that the overall winners in the national competition could come from this area,” said Linton Rithie, the head judge and former participant in the adult version of the long-running competition. The national competition, to be held for the first time in the junior section, will take place in Johannesburg on September 10. Teams each received R5 000 from Siemens to fund their entries and were not allowed to use more than this. They also had to comply with various standards. “It’s about being innovative within a framework in programming a home to be most effective and efficient in terms of energy usage,” said BTech Electrical Engineering student Ian van Niekerk. Each of the boys and their teacher Sampie Marais received a Sony Playstation Portable for their efforts. Newton Technical School and East Cape Midlands College finished joint second.
