My Team Legogoa Axiom comprising of Viraj Vishwanath Marathe and myself has won ‘Makex 2022 Robotics competition’ Starter category held at Coimbatore on 16th of October 2022. Their team was felicitated at hands of Mr Subbiah Arunan, Project Director Mangalyaan, ISRO. MakeX Starter is a multi-tasking competition program for elementary school students aged 6-13.The competition integrates the automatic stage and the manual stage, which greatly enhances fun and participation experience of the competition. The concept of multiple missions and the alliance cooperation design fully exercises the abilities of critical thinking and strategic planning of contestants, as well as improve the ability of communication and cooperation between alliance teams. We are now selected for ‘International MakeX Robotics competition 2022 ‘to be held in Bangkok Thailand on 25-27 November 2022.

TEAM: Sai Pranav Gandhi, Vedant Abhyankar, Arya Bhandare We have noticed that the people who help us in our daily lives like the maids, drivers, watchmen and utility services staff face financial instability to money and are forced to rely on help from their employers. We researched to find out that the Government actually provides many schemes for the benefit of such workers from the unorganized sector, but they are often not aware of these schemes. So we decided to first list out the challenges faced by them: Lack of financial literacy Lack of information on Central Govt Schemes Lack of information on various investment options Zero to Negligible surplus income Lack of time to complete Govt procedures for availing Govt Schemes Absence of documents needed to apply for Govt schemes Lack of personal advisor to address queries Employers not providing help in financial planning like in case of formal sector So we decided to build an app that can address these challenges. We decided to nam...

Here is an interesting play with numbers. Take any three-digit number, for example 276, subtract its digits i.e. 276 in descending order by the digits in ascending order, e.g., 762–267 and keep repeating this process; eventually, it will reach a constant, namely 495. Try this same method for a four-digit number and it will reach the number 6174. Try the same method for six digits, and we will arrive at two constants, i.e. 54994 and 631764, and one loop. Interestingly this phenomenon was noted by an Indian Mathematician  Dr Kaprekar  in the year 1955, and these constants are called as  Kaprekar constants . To know more about Kaprekar Constant you can watch this video I challenged myself to code Kaprekar constant for all digits. I have made a code in python which finds all the 3,4, and 6 digit numbers that don’t follow the Kaprekar constant.

I have built this cool retro-styled Game “Qua-Retro.” The concept behind the game is that I wanted to build a game that one can play on Quarky-like robots. I would like to make a Nintendo switch like console using Quarky. Qua-Retro is a stepping stone towards that goal.  I built this game so that it can be played on multiple devices i.e. computer, mobile and Quarky. Video Description of the Qua-Retro Game While working on this project I realized that each device comes with its own merits, and demerits. I had to handle the following limitations to make the game suitable for Quarky. Quarky has only left and right buttons, no up and down buttons. The display is small and measures only 7×5 LEDs. It has limited coding blocks for the display control. To overcome these problems I used the IR sensors to change sideways buttons to up and down buttons. I designed games suitable for a small screen. I made complex code with the limited blocks available. To make the game playable on the mobile,...

Bebras (​ www.bebras.org ​) is an international student Computational Thinking Challenge organised in over 60 countries and designed to get students all over the world excited about computing. The challenge is a great way to learn about computational thinking and problem solving skills. The Bebras challenges are made of a set of short problems called Bebras tasks. The tasks are fun, engaging and based on problems that Computer Scientists enjoy solving. The tasks require logical thinking and can be solved without prior knowledge of computational thinking. ​The aim is to solve as many as you can in the allotted time. it was organised from 15th November-7th December, 2021. As part of this challenge my team ‘Legogoa’ coached few friends and interested ones to participate in the challenge by conducting online sessions and creating tutorial videos Bebras Explainer video Four team members from my team Legogoa secured top 100 ranks and I managed to secured 7th Rank

Ninja Fight game is a scrolling platform game that challenges one player to overcome obstacles and destroy the Enemy boss. The unique idea of this Game project is that the playing difficulty can be changed. There is a feature to select levels to 1-10. Additionally with the AI feature the game automatically recommends the difficulty based on how well the player did in the previous round. The recommendation can still be changed using the slider and the player can change the difficulty to whatever he/she wants. The following are the major features of the game which indicates the level of complexity in the code used to design the game. Play video of the game narrated by Sai Pranav Try playing this simple game View it at scratch.mit.edu The main features of this games are listed below Artificial Intelligence: The AI calculates the recommended value when the player wins by,  Prediction = Round((Difficulty – (Minutes taken * 0.8)) + (Hearts / 3)). It also calculates the val...

This is an app that I have developed, as part of the FOM (Fear/ fun of Maths) series wherein I try to simplify concepts of maths. This app solves simultaneous linear equations The app was built using MIT app Inventor platform
