    The number of missing children and kidnapping is on the rise in recent years. Every parent wills definitely going through an agonizing experience to have their children missing. Therefore, there are many safety measurements to prevent this incident from happening. The help of modern technologies is one of the ways to reduce children missing and kidnapping. A child can be tracked by using the global positioning system (GPS) and global system for mobile communication (GSM) technology. Advanced child monitoring systems are expensive. Not all families have the same living standards. For this purpose, a low-cost child tracking system is proposed in this study. The implementation of the proposed approach is reported in real-time

    The use of solar tracking systems has become vital and has established itself as a vital element in the generation of solar energy by enhancing the collection efficiency. This paper seeks to understand the necessity of shifting from conventional energy sources and why issues like scarcity of fossil fuel, and pollution are some of the hurdles toward achieving sustainable energy. Solar power, in particular, is one of the lights at the end of this tunnel since it pioneers a shift towards the usage of clean energy in the world. The subject of interests of the study is on how tracking systems help in maximizing energy collection from solar systems by interchanging it with the movement of sun’s path. It discusses the method that was followed, which involves selecting component, designing circuit and developing software together with presenting empirical data that was obtained from a three-day, Twenty-four-hour experiment. Outcomes show that there is an improvement on voltage stability, the level of solar irradiation and temperature regulation when the system is applied as compared to static system and its applicability for the enhancement of the renewable energy harnessing methods by using the solar tracking technology. Finally, it outlines the future research directions to continue exploring the proposed methods and its wider impact on renewable energy generation
