The maiden Coolest Projects Ghana Showcase and competition for kids tech makers concluded yesterday, highlighting the outstanding talents of young makers in the country.
At the event, which brought together budding technologists from various schools, more than 70 participants received resources to continue their journey of technological innovation. Among the many impressive entries, three young tech enthusiasts emerged as the top winners, presenting projects that promise to make a significant impact.
Elijah Tetteh, a 13-year-old student from Hallmark International and a member of the Ghana Code Club, won first prize. Elijah developed a Python Django web application designed to diagnose car engine problems.
By providing recommended actions based on symptoms described by users, its innovative solution aims to simplify car maintenance and repair.
Second place was awarded to Hakeem Nnamo Mohammed and his team from Presec Legon, who are all teenagers and high school students. They created an automatic egg incubator that works without the need for electricity, using batteries and solar energy.

The incubator has a thermostat that regulates the temperature, ensuring optimal conditions for incubating the eggs. Third place was awarded to Bryon-Richard Papa Kwabla Dawson, a 10-year-old from Hillview Montessori School. Bryon’s startup, Bryon AgroTech, is an online poultry management system built with Python Django for the backend and HTML, CSS and JavaScript for the frontend.
Using SQLite for development and Chart.js for data visualization, his system helps streamline poultry operations by providing insights into production trends, inventory levels and sales metrics. In addition to the top three winners, seven other creators were recognized for their outstanding creativity and business skills. These young innovators received various awards, highlighting their potential to shape the future of technology in Ghana.
