The events of the Social Innovations Exhibition, organized by the Human Resources Department in cooperation with the Emirates Association for Social Development, were launched yesterday to continue for two evenings at RAK Mall.
The opening ceremony of the exhibition activities was witnessed by H.E. Sheikh Mohammed bin Kayed Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Department of Economic Development, and H.E. Dr. Mohammed Abdullatif Khalifa, General Manager of RAK Department of Human Resources, in the presence of a number of officials and individuals.
Sheikha Al Hebsi the exhibition supervisor from the DHR said: “The Social Innovations Exhibition witnessed the participation of a number of individuals from the federal and local entities, the private sector, and the community. Twelve entities sent 88 participants, in addition to the participation of 29 individuals, with a total of 117 participants.
Jassim Ahmed Al-Dabal from RAK Science Club said that the club participated by presenting a number of innovations implemented by its students, including the solar-powered refrigerator, the electromagnetic oven, and a number of robots, built by the relevant department in the club, which work in several fields, as well as displaying drawing on the MacBook, which provides high quality graphics in different ways.
Rashid Saadeh from the Technical Secondary School said that the school participated by presenting three students in the tenth grade, Hamad Al Balushi, Saeed Al Shumaili and Youssef Muhammad, for several innovations, the first related to the work of civil defence through robots that contain a number of sensors, including the warning messages sent to workers in the operating room about any danger represented by the escalation of smoke, gas, toxic gases, or lack of oxygen in various locations. He stated that these robots can also remove any obstacle that the civil defence may face after their arrival at the site to facilitate the process of taking the necessary measures and start the ambulance and rescue operations entrusted to them, and they are equipped with water pumps that work directly to put out the fire on site and in the event of a gas leak they work to close the main valve. He explained that the students were also able to build a device that is installed in the vehicle consisting of a front and rear camera that works in the event that the vehicle is stolen by other people by sending warning messages to its owner. If the owner is busy or does not notice the message, and the thieves wish to operate it in any way possible, the owner can still locate the vehicle through the system.
He pointed out that the innovations also included devices for vehicles that work if the car is parked with children and movement inside, it lowers the windows and send messages to the owners, about the presence of abnormal movement inside the vehicle that must be addressed directly.
