As part of Ignite, Innovate, Inspire, the senior class (AS and A level) LEs delved into self-directed projects, pushing the boundaries of their knowledge and igniting a passion for creative problem-solving. Their subject ELs guided them in their endeavour. This program marked a new chapter in our senior curriculum, empowering LEs to become independent thinkers and innovators. Some of their projects during the term January-April 2024 are listed below.
Manasvi has worked on developing an atmospheric water generator. After analyzing various types of water generators, such as VARS, VCRS, and Peltier models, she has focused on constructing a model that utilizes hygroscopic films and dehumidifiers. She aims to implement this model outside of school as well if it proves successful.
Aadhithya has conducted a pilot experiment using biotic factors, such as enzymes, to decentralise dry-waste management and make Pathashaala self-sufficient in waste management. This involves leveraging enzymes and other organisms to accelerate the breakdown of plastics and other complex structures. As it is a pilot experiment, there is potential for further development in the future.
Virinci has conducted research on different parts and types of drones, comprehending the underlying mechanisms that enable their operation, with detailed knowledge of some components and a practical understanding of others. Currently, his focus lies in building a quadcopter drone from scratch, aiming to implement the theoretical concepts he has studied.
Lohitha has explored various forecasting techniques in economics to determine foreign exchange rates. In her pursuit, she has examined existing statistical models and learned to develop one of her own. Her intention is to create a model that not only aids the macroeconomy but also benefits individuals and firms by accurately forecasting exchange rates.
Ramanujam has focused on reducing electrical resistance in structures through parallel combinations, primarily for studying electric fields. Additionally, he is working on a sub-project involving a passive field particle accelerator. This endeavour aims to generate high-energy electromagnetic radiation for experimenting with and exploring scenarios involving complex systems.
