On Wednesday, 7 October, we held the first Online Coding Challenge with micro:bit devices. Given the still unstable situation with the Covid-19 virus, we wanted to protect the health of all students, teachers, jury members and our colleagues, and we decided to organize application process as well as competition itself digitally.
The winning project is called "Smart Solar Panels", and it was made by students Dino Zukić and Kenan Avdić, under the mentorship of teacher Miralem Bajrić. The goal of the project is energy efficiency, environmental protection as well as environmental lighting through solar energy.
