Anambra Secondary School Students Launch Smart Walking Sticks For The Blind Some students of Regina Pacis Secondary School, Onitsha in Anambra State, have recorded a breakthrough with the new invention of ‘Smart Sticks’ for the visually impaired community. The Youth Coordinator, Nigeria Association of the Blind (NAB), Anambra State, Chibuzor Obierika, said the invention was improved upon its first test. Recall that the school’s students had in 2018 won the Junior Gold Awards in the World Technovation Challenge in the United States of America by developing a mobile application called the Fake Drug (FD) detector to help tackle fake pharmaceutical products in Nigeria. Again, young ladies from the school have shone as innovators in robotics and coding, inventing smart sticks that can detect obstacles not less than 120 centimetres away from a blind person. Speaking at the launch of the innovative product, Obierika said, “After building this project, we noticed it could only sense obstacles horizontally in front of the blind man, so we decided to advance this project. The Smart Sticks can now sense objects from an angle of elevation and an angle of depression,” she said. “The Smart Sticks are designed with an input ultrasonic sensor that alerts a blind person of an obstacle not less than 120 centimetres ahead of him or her. The move is in line with the state government mandate to support innovations among young talent. Their invention was displayed during the pastoral visit of the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Onitsha Diocese, Most Reverend Valerian Okeke. While unveiling the innovation as well as distributing over 20 packs of the devices to several impaired persons, the clergyman, alongside the Obi of Onitsha Nnemeka Achebe hailed the students for the feet achieved. The Smart Sticks were reviewed by some visually impaired persons at the event to show the product’s effectiveness.
