Can I enter this in ISEF?

So I just found a mentor who I met up with today. He is a computer science professor, and he knows about my interests, so he suggested 2 projects. One was where I follow the way this guy built a remote control car from a raspberry pi, and some other stuff,and build one myself, but he says I could find a way to make it more efficient, or make it self driving or something like that. Maybe I could create instructions, and make a easy manual for people just starting off in computer science such as high school students or undergrad students. His other project idea was for me to use a rig of kinect sensors to be able to track an object such as my finger, and create an x,y,z coordinate plane with the finger having coordinates wherever it is. Both of them seem really interesting to me, and I am doing research in both of them, but would either be something that I could enter in a research competition such as ISEF or Siemens? If not, what would be a possible idea?
