This may be an unpopular view, but, I don't believe that teachers should be using this forum to tout their students work, no matter how outstanding the project may be. It should be judged on its merits, not on how it is promoted. This is not what this forum was established to do.

Dear SE teachers,

I perfectly understand that this is a strange way to address the issue of selection folio and systems for 2009 season of Excellence but after many years of assessing students work I was overwehlmed with the relevance, quality and ideas of my student,  Akila's, work. The System he constructed may be used for commercial projects as well.

The poject name is "Video linked remote controlled pets' feeding system".
What it does is :

1. Distributes food and water at certain times programmed with different timer settings. (This may be considered as a standard SE students'work and I would not be so excited to send the message to all Victorian SE teachers. But the second option below is really worth promoting the work for the season of Excellence at  the least).

2. The system distributes food and water, controlled by mobile phone with video link.The owner phones home, switches motor to ration the food and water and observes the distribution and feeding process of a pet from any place on our planet. 

And all this"stuff" is working! And the student wants to be a vet and he will be!

Dear teachres, some of you will be in the selecting panel soon  but, as usual, the names are confidential but I hope  that it will be the panel of last year.

Regardless of the names please do not miss this outstanding work when he applies for 2009 VCE Season of Excellence.

Warmest regards,

Alex Roujnikov,

Physics/SE teacher,

Penola Catholic College
