Students this year will have the opportunity to build on research done by the Jacobs 2019 Makers Games team and create a Smart Fire Sprinkler system to be retro-fitted to a house. This system requires a reactive design that autonomously activates and targets water supply to particular areas of the house subject to ember attack. This design must be user-safe, durable in bush fire conditions, sustainable and comply with Australian bush fire standards.
