Sitaras “Solve for Society (SFS)” |
|
|
|
|
Abhyudaya partner, The Innovation Story, launched the “SOLVE FOR SOCIETY” Challenge for students in grade 8 to 12 in partnership with Amazon Future Engineers.
The goal is to create innovative solutions to real-world challenges with mentorship from industry experts and individuals from IIT Mumbai.
The theme for this year is “Innovation for the differently abled using assistive technology.”
Abhudaya chose 10 Sitaras from Classes 8 and 9. Two teams were formed: “The ChangeMakers” (Ashraf, Iffat, Kishan, Sunny, and Tanvi) and “The Masterminds” (Kiran, Pramod, Shreyas, and Vaibhavi) were formed.
The Changemakers developed “Saathi”, a smart stick for the visually impaired, that can identify pits and obstacles from a distance.
Team Masterminds decided to build a device, “Magical Fingers”, that can translate the hand movements of hearing-impaired people into audio responses, which will make communication with the hearing impaired easy. The first phase of the competition was to make a video.
Team Masterminds was chosen to proceed to phase II. They must now demonstrate a working prototype of their gadget. They have two IIT Mumbai mentors for this. Their SPJIMR mentors are also there to support them. Our Masterminds are curious and are working hard to make it happen. Best wishes to our bright future minds.
