We had this project in my computer science class, where we had to help society in some way by building something. My group decided to help world wide obesity. It was basically a shirt that had a scoreboard on it, and it detected when you catch a ball, so it automatically increases the score. This helps kids by getting the 20 minutes of daily exercise that they need, and it prevents them from fighting over the score. My group actually prototyped this shirt, and used LED's as regular digital numbering system for counting, and we used an ultrasonic sensor (left) to find when the ball was caught. All in all I got an A on the project, but what matters more is that we could help the society.
