Climate Change Solutions
Our workshops to address climate change with innovative solutions
- Students learn how to build a compost box, including buying raw materials, cutting and drilling, and filling the compost bin. They also learn the impact of their day-to-day activities on climate change and how they can rethink the buy-use-toss paradigm to take a more thoughtful approach.
- Students understand the world’s drinking water crisis and learn how to build an off-grid rainwater harvesting system using a rain barrel, diverter, water transfer pump connected to a solar panel, and solar power battery bank.
- Students understand runoff as the leading cause of global eutrophication and learn to build and test an infiltration robot with Arduino Uno, L293D motor driver shield, linear actuator, and auger drill. They learn to test the effectiveness of the robot using a sensor node with soil moisture sensors installed at different depths.
Innovation Labs
- Host themed events that encourage collaborative problem-solving and creative thinking on global or community issues.
- Offer structured support for students developing projects for local, regional, or international science fairs, including workshops on research design and communication.
- Provide age-appropriate education on intellectual property, and support students in filing provisional patents or submitting articles to youth science journals.
Robotic Programs
- Hands-on workshop that teaches students to build a fully functional line-following robot using infrared sensors, a 5V Channel Relay, and a DC Motor. Students learn the function of each component and work on connecting the electrical circuits.
- Hands-on workshop that teaches students to build a fully functional obstacle-avoiding robot using infrared sensors, L298 Motor Drive Controller, 7404 IC, breadboard, and a DC Motor. Students learn the function of each component and work on connecting the electrical circuits.
Students take home their functional robot at the end of each workshop.
