Jared Crowly: My name is Jared Crowly and I am in Year 8 at Marymount College and my project is “The Automated Flood Warning Device”.
[Image changes to show Jared sitting in a paddock and then the image changes to show Jared walking towards a flock of goats in the paddock]
It’s a device that will send you a message to your phone when the flood levels rise.
[Image shows Jared continuing to walk towards a piece of sewer pipe which is part of the automated flood warning device mounted on a fence]
It is made using Arduino, which is an electronics programme which is easy to use for coding.
[The camera pans down the sewer pipe and then the image changes to show Jared removing an electronic device from the top of the sewer pipe]
What inspired my project was that, in Easter when Cyclone Debbie came, it flooded my whole house.
[Images move through of a trampoline in the middle of a flooded area, water on a kitchen floor, an electronic device, Jared looking down and the Smartphone he is looking at]
So, where I’m sitting right now was all under water and so it got me thinking, like there’s not many things out there that allows you to know before the flood happens because when it hits at midnight or you’re not at home you won’t realise that it’s flooding until you wake up or you come home and then everything is gone.
[Image changes to show Jared working on a laptop at the kitchen table and then the camera zooms in Jared’s face, the laptop he is working on and his fingers on the keyboard]
The next stage of my project would probably be to start producing a lot more and selling them out to people and also it’s able to be used for other agricultural needs as it can be used for tank levels.
[Camera zooms up to show the laptop screen Jared is working on]
So, it will tell you when your tank’s getting low or it could be used for animal troughs.
[Image changes to show Jared putting the electronic device in the sewer pipe]
So, it can send you a message when you need to fill it up, instead of having to go down every day and check to see if it’s empty.
[Image changes to show Jared sitting in the paddock and talking to the camera and then the image changes to show a rear view of Jared working on the laptop]
The main challenge for me was that it was really hard to find the coding to use because no one’s ever used Arduino to code something similar to this.
[Images move through of Jared looking down, his fingers on a keyboard, Jared sitting in the paddock talking to the camera and then Jared walking through the paddock]
So, I had to make it all from scratch which was hard ‘cause I had to figure out everything to put into it. I had to change things. I had to make sure it worked. I had to put in parts from the GSM, parts from the Oono, parts from the float, I had to put it all together into the coding which was really difficult.

I’m definitely thinking of becoming an engineer of some sort when I’m older, like an aerospace engineer or a geologist engineer or something to do with the environment.
[Image changes to show Jared sitting in a paddock talking to the camera and then the image changes to show Jared in the cricket nets batting]
Now I am a teenager, I do normal stuff with people like play games, video games, hang out with friends but my favourite sports that I play is swimming and cricket.
[Image changes to show Jared swimming laps in the pool and then the image changes to show Jared getting out of the pool and wiping his face with a towel]
What I really like about swimming is races and training as with training it’s really relaxing just being in the water, having your own time and like you have a lot of time to think about what you want to do later in the day or week.
[Image changes to show Jared in the paddock with the goats picking up a kid and then the camera zooms in on the kid’s face and then the image changes to show Jared talking to the camera]
The main part I love about science engineering is that there’s always something new to learn and there’s heaps of things that hasn’t been discovered yet for people to learn. I like being an inventor.
