At just 14 years old, Riza Mohammed, a class 10 student at Peace Public School, Kottakkal, has proven that innovation has no age limit. With a keen interest in technology, Riza has developed groundbreaking solutions to everyday problems, making him a standout young inventor.

Smart Coin Counting Made Easy

Riza's most notable creation is software that can count small coins using a webcam. Simply placing coins in front of the camera without any contact allows the program to instantly display the total value on the screen. The software distinguishes coins based on their size, color, and other characteristics. Though currently a prototype, Riza aims to enhance it for counting large quantities of coins.

Smart Glasses for the Visually Impaired

Another of Riza’s creations is a pair of ‘smart glasses’ designed to assist the visually impaired. Equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, the glasses detect obstacles and alert the user through sound and vibrations. This feature ensures that even those with hearing impairments can benefit.

Riza’s talent doesn’t end there. He has also developed:

A voice-controlled toy car.

An automatic robot for floor cleaning.

A drawing app powered by artificial intelligence.
