Our Student Anton’s Remarkable Science Project
Congratulations to our 13-year-old student, Anton!
This week, he was featured in the Rheinische Post with an interesting article about his impressive success at the regional Jugend forscht competition. His project explored the fascinating question: “Can a Drone Be Controlled with Thoughts?”
Anton received a special “Make – Creative with Technology” award for developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) that uses EEG signals to control a mini-drone. With a headset measuring brainwaves, processed via Python and Bluetooth, he can already make the drone move up and down.
Having started his research back in Grade 5, Anton now aims to contribute to the advancement of assistive technologies that support people with physical disabilities and to further explore human-machine interaction.
We are very proud of Anton and his dedication, creativity, and curiosity – he truly embodies our ISR motto: “It’s cool to be good!” Our special thanks go to Mr. O’Brien, Head of Science at ISR, for his continuous support and encouragement of our students’ innovative projects.
