Five Bhavishya Yaan Kids Win A Science Prize At Vjti’s Technovanza-19.

See the BY kids present their project HERE.

Vitthal Popat Gund, Dnyaneshwar Subhash Jadhav, Devendra Chetan Chalke, Yash Sunil Jagdale, and Rohan Santosh Mhaske, from our Colaba School, worked on the Manhole Science Project inspired by the tragedy that took the life of Dr. Amrapurkar. Dr. Amrapurkar, a gastroenterologist from Bombay Hospital, fell in to a manhole near Prabhadevi during the heavy rains in 2017 and lost his life.

For the project, the students made a cover plate with a fourwheel setup with sensors that can detect the manhole and cover it. Four ultrasonic sensors were proposed to detect any person, animal, and vehicles and give an alarm/buzzer sound.

For the second phase of the competition, Dnyaneshwar and Vitthal were flown to Bangalore to present their project. The five boys have also got excellent marks in SSC this year. A Canadian IT company has offered to sponsor the entire college education of all five students provided they pursue the science stream. The boys plan to take coaching classes for IIT JEE that are being made possible this year by Rotary Club of Bombay through Rtn. Sunita Mandelia’s Yasham Foundation.
