Automatic Cat Feeder
Aviv Sinai
Category: Open
Age Group: Up to 12 years
My cat that is always looking for food and I have to remember each and every time to provide her with food, by setting up an automatic feeding system I knew I could always keep her happy. Getting the electrical aspects of my project working was a challenge, but the hardest part of creating my project was sourcing the relevant parts and making them work together - I had to be VERY creative when it came to finding the right parts.
I am interested in computers and enjoy making new projects and developing existing projects to make them better and more efficient. I also like assisting my dad in developing new business ideas for the internet. I think the internet has totally changed the way we live out lives. It has brought people closer together than ever and made communicaiton and gathering and distributing information easier than ever. I know it will continue to affect our lives in the future.
I would like to travel the world and study at Stanford University in California and when I graduate it would be great to be recruited by one of the leading global hi-tech companies.
I think Bill Gates is pretty inspirational. He formed one of the biggest and most successful computer software company in the world and was the first to understand the importance of the computer for everyday use by ordinary people.
