Four female pupils have developed a solution to address obstructive parking in the country.
The innovative application which is called Frostbits, will be useful in cities with heavy traffic like Lagos with its use of location sensors, database, and the app inventor’s interface and more.
The four are pupils of Princeton College, Surulere, Lagos. The invention was done under the tutelage of New Horizons Computer Learning Centre Ltd, the school’s ICT partner. The school emerged African regional winner for this year’s Technovation contest which held at Pan Atlantic University, Lagos.
The app came first in the ‘Senior Division Regional 2019 Technovation competition. The app developers are Daniella Ekekwe; Gbopemioluwa Olukoga; Victory Yinka-Banjo and Tanyalouise Ekekwe.
The quartet said users can easily park their cars without worrying about interference from other drivers.
Education Director, Princeton Schools, Dr Dolapo Bankole said, ”Our emphasis in Princeton School is to produce pupils with 21st Century skills in science and technology, so that students from our school can compete effectively with their counterparts in Europe, America and Asia.”
Chief Executive Officer, New Horizons Nigeria, Mr. Tim Akano, lauded the schools’ board of directors and parents for the quality education the school offers.
“Princeton is one of the topmost schools in Nigeria where parents who desire the best future for their children should patronize.
“The standard of education is high and very robust. We are happy to be part of their success and look forward to even bigger international achievement in future together with Princeton,” Akano said.
Princeton College’s secondary school section is in Surulere, Lagos, with well-qualified and experienced staff to produce responsible and self-sufficient citizens with strong critical thinking and academic skills.
The school, in partnership with New Horizons Computer Learning Centre, provides project-based training curriculum to all pupils in an exciting and innovative way.
