Teenagers today are constantly spending time on their various devices, which means that their eyes are also spending more time around brighter lights. Because of their daily expose to these lights, they might not know if their general surroundings are too bright for their health and well-being. This is a problem because long term exposure to bright lights could cause permanent damage to teenagers’ eyes and health, which could potentially affect their future careers.

The health of the future generations is extremely important, which is why a solution is needed. My partner Jason and I have created a solution to the potential bright lights that are affecting teenagers today. Incorporating the Mircobit and its various properties, the first concept of the yet-to-be-named light detecting device was conceived. The device will detect light levels within a room, and if the area is too bright, a sound will play to hopefully notify teenagers and have them take the appropriate measures to make sure their health is not damaged.

No design if perfect however, so there may still be some undetected flaws within the idea. The purpose of this device is to help people, and the less flaws it has, the more efficient it will be. My partner Jason and I have yet to test out the device physically, so brainstorming is required to perfect the idea and then actually bring it to life. We hope we can create this device to help not just teenagers, but also adults, to keep their eyes in prime condition.
