Vida Ákos, iskolánk tanulója megnyerte az Országos Tudományos Innovációs Olimpiát 2024. június 7-én.
Milestone Institute által összeállított összefoglaló az eddigi sikereiről:
Game console add-on and 3D printing – Ákos Vida's unstinting enthusiasm and dedication to design, build and innovation has propelled him to the top of the podium in two national and one international competition. After his victory last year, this year he won first place for the second time at the National Science and Innovation Olympiad with his idea for a new 3D printing technique. He also won first prize at the International Conference for Young Scientists (ICYS) in Turkey and the Grand Prize in the Engineering/Computer Science section of the TUDOK (Tudományos Diákkörök XXIV. Kárpát-medencei Konferenciája) for his innovative game console add-on. Keep up the great work Ákos, amazing results, congratulations!
Ákos, our Senior student mentored by László Zala, studies at Kőrösi Csoma Sándor Két Tanítási Nyelvű Baptista Gimnázium and is also the president of the Engineering Society at Milestone.
He developed the adaptive gamer controller add-on for people with disabilities (e.g., cerebral palsy) and has been working on it for years. Last year, he gave a presentation on his development at Galileo Night, the Milestone Institute's student conference. The accessory can be attached to a standard Xbox controller, mechanically connecting and making the controller's buttons accessible so that they can be used with limited hand functionality. Two individuals have already tested the invention, and currently, discussions are underway with a children's hospital in Australia for further testing.
The new 3D printing technique invented and tested by Ákos addresses a common problem with the most widespread FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) printers, where the printed layers often have weak interlayer bonds, leading to low layer adhesion. This can cause the printed layers to separate under force. "The essence of the new 3D printing technique is to incorporate frequent vertical movements into the printer head's motion to produce stronger parts. I have already conducted many measurements showing that with this technique, the tensile strength of the printed material can be increased up to eightfold," explains Ákos.
Sok szeretettel gratulálunk!
