Kisii University – School of Information Science & Technology

Technology is revolutionising how and what we develop and how we live, providing us with copious new opportunities that are only limited by how far we can stretch the limits of technology. In this regard, The Kisii University School of Information Science and Technology is focusing on technology education, research and innovation in providing both scientific and practical solutions to some of the challenges facing the society.

The “NAIROBI TECH WEEK” that took place from 24th to 26th April,2019 at Strathmore University saw our Computing Science students emerge the Best team in IoT and The second best overall. They were given Incubation in @iBizAfrica in Strathmore University. The “Greenhouse crop monitoring and control system” is able to monitor and regulate all ecological conditions in a farm, which include temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and Light. When temperatures in a farm exceed the optimum fans are automatically turned on till the temperatures are lowered when Soil moisture is low pumps are turned automatically hence pumping water for irrigation until its optimum moisture content is attained. When its cloudy/gloomy lights are turned on so as to aid in lighting the room for the process of photosynthesis to be maintained hence ensuring maximum crop production. The farmer will always be able to communicate with his or her greenhouse via Short Message Service (SMS) about the state and conditions of the greenhouse hence reducing human worry. Thumbs up for Kelvin Kipkoech, James Kitheka, and Alexander Mutua for the good work done. .

Best team in IoT

A new level of self-training is allowing robots to draw their own conclusions and make deductions that haven’t been hard-coded into them, so that when looking at large volumes of data, they can point things out that humans would probably have missed, leading to brand-new thinking. “Take CCTV and real-time video, which produces a volume of footage that can be impenetrable to humans,” says Ron Brown, DXC Technology’schief technologist for the public sector in the UK. “AI can begin to make sense of it by looking for specific things that we know we want to watch for, but also by discovering things that we hadn’t even thought of.”
