Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], On Saturday, for the first time, the Rotary Club of Coimbatore West organized an ultimate competition for students between 12 and 17 years of age.
The competition was designed to highlight the importance of innovation in young minds.
The students showed their creativity in tackling real-world problems and became part of the change by partnering with prestigious companies.
Each team consisted of four students who presented their innovative projects from 54 schools spread across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. A total of 166 projects were received for the exhibition.
Sensibly named 'Big Bang 24', 92 projects from 35 schools spread across three states, themed around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, were selected for display.
The main objective of the initiative was to promote an innovative mindset among students and help them develop the skills that are now essential for the 21st century.
The projects were evaluated by experts and a cash reward of Rs 100,000 was awarded to the winner of the competition.
The chief guest of the event was former ISRO scientist Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai, who addressed the students at the end of the event and encouraged them to be a part of the International Space Station on the Moon.
Earlier on June 28, Dr. Annadurai had spoken about NASA astronauts Barry Eugene "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who were stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) due to software glitches and design problems in the Boeing Starliner. He said: "Any space program, during the transition, must ensure that all systems for the next phase are ready. During the launch, there were a couple of delays. After boarding, both astronauts were evacuated."
He further explained: "The actual launch was carried out after making sure that all the countdowns and systems were in order. Now, with the system fully ready, they can return. It is part and parcel of the space game. No action will be taken until "We are doubly sure, especially when it comes to human lives."
