3 min read
Mysuru: In its continued quest to nurture student entrepreneurs, three of Mysuru’s Excel Public School’s student innovations have been selected among the 30 innovations to be presented in the final round of Global Innovation Challenge (GIC) 2024.
GIC is an annual event organized by Invent Future Global, an NGO dedicated to empowering students across the globe to enhance their problem-solving skills and build self-confidence. The students of Excel Public School competed with 186 students from 26 countries to make it to the finals. The social impact innovations from the students of Excel Public School (EPS) cut across solutions from agriculture, public food distribution management to road safety. These innovations will be presented live at the Global Innovation Field Trip (GIFT) to be held virtually on October 14-15, 2024.
The Global Innovation Challenge (GIC) is a two-round virtual competition for students aged 5 to 19 from across the globe, providing a platform for young innovators to share, compete, and be celebrated for their ideas around the world. The first round involves submitting a pitch, which is reviewed by a panel of judges to select the finalists. In the second and final round, the projects are presented live at GIFT, where they are judged by an international panel and showcased to an audience.
The three projects developed by Excel Public School students harness the power of science and technology to address the critical societal needs.
- The Agri Feed Pro project (seen in picture on the top), developed by Bhuvan P M (Grade 11), Nandan Hegde (Grade 11) and Aryan Kini (Grade 10), tackles challenges in animal husbandry by automating the process of converting surplus green fodder into silage, improving livestock nutrition, reducing waste and boosting farm productivity.
- AI RoadCare developed by Tanish Tejaswi M S (Grade 11), Bhuvan P M (Grade 11), and Namasyu A (Grade 11), is an AI-powered solution aimed at enhancing road safety by detecting alcohol levels, monitoring eye blinks for drowsiness, and tracking driving duration to prevent accidents in India.
- The Hello Rationease, developed by Nandan Hegde (Grade 11), Leysha Prashant (Grade 10) and Ananthanarayan Pranav (Grade 11) is an automated device designed to address inefficiencies in the ration distribution system. The device is integrated with RFID technology, biometric authentication, and real-time feedback mechanism to eliminate human intervention, reduce waiting times and ensure continuous resource availability, thereby enhancing fairness and accaccessibility.
The students were mentored by Gopinath Subramaniam, Senior Learning Designer, Excelsoft technologies and Sudhakar L, Mentor from Excelsoft TecTechnologies.
Commenting on the students’ achievement, Mathew K G, Principal of Excel Public School, said, “We are immensely proud of our students’ remarkable achievement at the Global Innovation Challenge 2024. Their success not only showcases their innovative thinking and problem-solving skills but also reflects the dedication of our faculty in nurturing young talents. This accomplishment reinforces our commitment to providing a holistic education that prepares students for global challenges. We’re excited to see how their innovations will contribute to solving real-world problems. I am wishing All the very best to all the students for the finals.”
Congratulating the students, Sudhanva D, MD & CEO, of Excel Group said, “Our students have demonstrated an outstanding performance at the Global Innovation Challenge 2024. This is a testament to the excellence we strive for at Excel Public School. By securing three out of India’s four finalist positions, our students have not only brought honor to our institution but have also put Mysuru on the global innovation map. Their projects demonstrate a deep understanding of pressing issues and showcase innovative solutions that have the potential to create meaningful impact. We are confident that this achievement will inspire more young minds to think creatively and contribute to society’s progress.”
