Cai-Oliver became state champion in engineering in 2007 for developing a safe laser pointer, which can point on the screen, but not into the eyes of the audience. He repeated this success 4 years later with his 2nd project. Cai-Oliver and Tobias Kaufmann became state champions in engineering in 2011 for developing a photon counting webcam.
