The Water Meter is a device designed to track and measure household water usage in real time, helping families identify waste and conserve water. The idea came from a simple observation: most people have no idea how much water they're actually using day to day. By making that data visible and immediate, the Water Meter gives families the information they need to make smarter choices.
The Water Meter was first presented at the 2021 Mercer County 4-H Fair (the 102nd fair, held at Howell Historical Living Farm, NJ), where it was displayed in the IoT tent alongside other innovative projects from the Ashland Innovation 4-H Club and Robbinsville Innovation 4-H Club. Local newspaper journalists stopped at the booth to interview Hasini and take notes about the project.
The Water Meter went on to win the Alexander Graham Bell Prize (Grades 3–5 category) at the 2021 AT&T Inventor's Challenge, a national competition run in partnership with Imagination.org. The challenge recognizes young inventors who use creativity and engineering to solve real-world problems. Winners in the individual categories received a Samsung tablet, Bitsbox coding kit, and a WildCards robotics platform.
