Hello! I’m Mingi Shin, a senior at Valor International Scholars
I’m passionate about designing innovative solutions at the intersection of technology and human needs. My projects tackle real-world challenges—ranging from traffic safety and eco-friendly transportation to assistive technology—all with the goal of improving daily life and creating a positive impact in the community.
SMART DEVICE
An innovative fusion of creative ideas, smart wearables, and cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
An add-on kit designed to promote safe and sustainable cycling. It uses wind energy to power LED lights, a hydration pump, and safety signals, enhancing visibility, tracking energy use, and supporting eco-friendly practices.
A smart system that uses real-time weather data, AI object detection, and personalized reminders so you always leave home prepared. By checking essential items like umbrellas or masks, it saves time, boosts safety, and simplifies your routine.
A wearable system and app addressing dog hydration and safety. It monitors body temperature, activates a water pump for hydration, and uses LED lights for visibility, with Bluetooth-enabled real-time monitoring.
An automatic door handle cleaning and sterilizing device designed to reduce germ and virus transmission. It uses infrared sensors, alcohol cleaning, and UV-LED sterilization to ensure thorough disinfection after each use.
An hardware device that makes using tumblers easier and more hygienic. It features an automatic cleaning system and UV-LED sterilization to keep tumblers clean and safe from germs. This eco-friendly solution encourages sustainable habits by promoting long-term tumbler use.
An innovative crosswalk assistance device designed for the visually impaired, ensuring safe navigation through real-time voice notifications of traffic signals and crossing status. Utilizing RFID, Bluetooth, and laser sensors, it enhances safety by guiding users and alerting them to potential missteps, reducing traffic accident risks.
APPLICATION
An innovative fusion of creative ideas, practical applications, and well-informed solutions.
A mobile app designed to prevent accidents in hazardous conditions like black ice, school zones, and pedestrian-prone areas. Using real-time data and advanced alert systems, the app helps drivers stay informed and cautious in high-risk situations.
An educational amblyopia treatment program designed using Scratch, combining fun and learning for children with vision impairments. Through interactive games like basic English word puzzles and math challenges, it helps improve eye muscle coordination and treatment effectiveness while keeping children engaged.
A software prototype that helps non-professionals write songs by analyzing diary entries and emotions. Using generative AI, it crafts personalized lyrics and melodies, lowering barriers for aspiring songwriters.
A mobile app that automatically identifies and reads emergency alerts for visually impaired users by detecting key terms. Using text-to-speech technology, it helps them promptly respond to disasters and enhances overall safety.
