HMGICS' industry experts will share their insights, experiences, and visions for the future, providing invaluable knowledge to our young minds. The heart of the event lies in the opportunity to research in real life, design for actual needs and pitch to the actual Industry. Students elsewhere simply don't have this opportunity, so take advantage of it.

How can we improve the passenger experience for those of diverse backgrounds
We believe that real-world exposure and hands-on experiences like these are essential in shaping our students into future-ready individuals.
Examples:
• Seamless Boarding & Off-Boarding: Solutions to simplify entry and exit for passengers with mobility challenges.
• Tools for Caretakers: Smart solutions that assist parents, caregivers, and helpers in ensuring a smooth journey.
• Self-Help & In-Cabin Navigation: Systems that help passengers independently navigate and interact with on-board features.
• Remote Experiences: Innovative ways to engage and support passengers before and during their journey, even from a distance.
• Multi-Sensory Interfaces: Alternative communication methods for passengers with visual, auditory, or cognitive impairments.
• Emergency & Safety Enhancements: Solutions to improve emergency response and passenger safety for vulnerable groups.
Here’s a brief overview of the challenge.
