Young innovators from across the country presented their projects on the inaugural day of the 43rd Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics and Environment Exhibition in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
The annual exhibition is conducted by NCERTin a different state or union territory each year. The event in Bengaluru has 199 participating schools and 210 exhibits on themes such as health, agriculture and disaster management.
Inaugurating the exhibition at the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stressed the need to encourage scientific temper in children and create a robust environment for innovation in the country.
Most of the projects were inspired by problems students identified in their immediate surroundings.
Tejas, a student of Holy Family School, Mangaluru, was troubled to see that children who ride pillion to school on their parents' two-wheelers often fell asleep. When he discussed this with his teacher, Vasudeva Rao, he suggested that Tejas make a device to prevent drivers from sleeping at the wheel.
They created sleep detector glasses which beep when the wearer closes his eyes.
Amit Kumar, a class 10 student from a government high school in Chandigarh, saw his uncle struggling to manually plough his field in a hilly region.
"A tractor cannot be used in those places because it is hilly and the plot is also too small. But a cycle can be taken anywhere, so I created a multipurpose cycle," Amit explained. He has modified a cycle to be used as a plough with an in-built seeder. A small solar-powered motor sprinkles water and pesticide on the field as the farmer moves forward. Arnab Maity from West Bengal has created a smart helmet which would be a boon for traffic police. The helmet acts as a second key for a two-wheeler. The bike will not start unless the rider puts helmet on and clips it.
Waste-to-wealth, eco-friendy incubators, air-conditioned bicycles- there are many such exhibits on display at the event, which will continue till December 19. Several cultural programmes have been organised by the Department of Public Instruction and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Karnataka for the participating students and teachers.
