DermaDAO is revolutionizing charitable giving by leveraging blockchain technology to create a transparent, fair, and trustworthy system. The biggest problems in charity are scams and fraud that steal donation money, excessive overhead costs that waste donations, and a lack of accountability—donors often have no visibility into where their money actually goes, while large contributors hold too much power over funding decisions. DermaDAO tackles these issues head-on by ensuring every donation, no matter how small, is tracked, secure, and used effectively.

Cakie Bin

Many people view recycling as a tedious task, hence, they have the tendency to not place the garbage in their correct bin (paper/glass/plastic & metal/other wastes). Due to this reason, it can take a significant amount of effort to sort the garbage in the bin. If organic waste is involved, then the entire content of the recycling bin is wasted.

We aim to demonstrate an IoT project titled Smart Sort Recycle Bin that will help in classifying the type of wastes accordingly. The smart bin will use the camera and visual ML techniques to differentiate between the different types of waste, and then classify them into the correct category. It will also be equipped with other sensors such as DHT11 sensor to monitor the temperature of the bin. If an abnormally high temperature or humidity is detected, then an alarm alert will be created on the cloud platform. It will also be equipped with an IR sensor to monitor the amount of garbage in the bin, where if the IR sensor is triggered for a significant duration (indicating that the bin is full), then an alarm alert will also be created.

As for the choice of cloud platform, the ThingsBoard IoT platform will be used. The ThingsBoard IoT platform is compatible with Raspberry Pi devices and is capable of using MQTT as the communication protocol. It provides ways to create user authentication and authorisation, and a dashboard. It is also equipped with a notification and alarm function.
