Of the selected teams, two members will be invited to Akure, where they will build and connect prototypes of their designed sensors. All expenses related to transport, accommodation, and catering will be paid for by Delft University of Technology and Federal University of Technology Akure. There will be materials for building the sensors and connections, which the teams can take home for further experimentation. The finale teams will get to keep the Arduino controller, that can be used to connect their sensor to the internet.
