This year's special prize of 2,000 euros from the BMBF for the project with the greatest industrial relevance goes to 15-year-old Max Hentges from the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin. He worked on the safe and intelligent bicycle, which provides information about the environmental impact of car traffic and the operating status of the bicycle. "This is realized via distance sensors, gas and particle sensors as well as voltage and current sensors," says the student. In conjunction with a smartphone app, his application is intended to make daily cycling safer.
