Secondary school students invent 3-in-1 body temperature device

Two schoolboys in Binh Duong have created an automatic body temperature measurement machine that can also be used to disinfect hands and take the roll-call. The machine is being used at their school. Nguyen Thanh Tai (left), Nguyen Dien Nam and their machine The first class after Tet holiday at the Nguyen Van Cu Secondary School in Thu Dau Mot City of Binh Duong province on February 22 went smoothly. Students had medical examinations but the process took little time and did not require many workers thanks to the body temperature machine invented by two of the school’s students, Nguyen Thanh Tai and Nguyen Dien Nam. After seeing teachers and students at schools queuing up to have their temperature taken and hands disinfected, they decided to create an automatic equipment to measure body temperature, spray disinfectant and control students’ daily attendance as well. During a lesson in late 2020, Tai told his teachers about the idea. The teachers had also heard of a similar idea from Nguyen Dien Nam, another student. Tai and Nam did not know each other at that moment. The idea from the two students was applauded by the school’s board of management which then assigned teacher Le Thi Thuong to help them. After four months, it was completed and put into use at the school. The device measures students’ body temperature, sprays disinfectant when students raise their hands and manages students’ attendance via fingerprint scanning. Tai said the inventors felt a bit worried on the first day of use. But they later “There was just a minor error, which has been fixed,” Tai said. The equipment operates based on the heat sensor system inside. The machine uses power from electricity sources or a solar cell put above in case the electricity is cut. The machine is fitted with a temperature sensor which is taller than the students’ average height. Users just need to stand 20-30 cm away from the machine. The sensor measures their temperature and shows it …

Schools have also regularly disinfected areas, especially those being constantly touched, and vehicles used to carry students. As on-site classes resume, parents need to take their children's body temperatures at home, prepare them masks and personal items so they would not have to share them with classmates to avoid infection, the municipal authority said. Previously, Hanoi students started staying home on February 1, about a week earlier than the expected beginning of the Tet break due to a new wave of Covid-19 sweeping nationwide and new cases of locally-transmitted cases were reported in the city.

Hanoi students seriously follow protocol on preventing Covid-19 when returning to school. The followings are some images on the first day Hanoi students come back to schools: Students at Le Quy Don Secondary School (Ha Dong district) keep a distance of 2 meters among them before body temperature checking to enter the school.
