On the occasion of Engineers Day, I and Viraj had the extraordinary opportunity to visit Ola Electric in Bengaluru, an industry leader in the realm of electric mobility. This visit was a remarkable experience that provided us with profound insights into the world of sustainable transportation. Ola is the largest electric mobility company in India, known for its electric scooters and efforts to promote sustainable transportation. During our visit, we had the chance to explore various emerging technologies showcased at the location, giving us insights into the exciting developments happening in the community. We also enjoyed having delicious snacks at the Ola canteen! In conclusion, our visit to Ola Electric on Engineers Day was nothing short of electrifying. It offered us a glimpse into the future of sustainable transportation and allowed us to witness firsthand the innovative technologies shaping our world. Ola’s commitment to electric mobility and sustainability is inspiring, and we l...

  Submission as part of New Technology Submission of FIRST Global Challenge My Team INDIA FGC 2023 identified the lack of public transport in Goa as one of the major problems plaguing the state of Goa. The team conducted research on the existing data and met with stakeholders to undertstand the problems and probable solutions.

I and my team members visited my school Sharada Mandir School to conduct an awareness session about FGC. As part of the Full STEAM Ahead Challenge organized by FIRST Global, we conducted an outreach activity for over 30+ students. The main purpose of this outreach was to increase awareness about the  FIRST GLOBAL CHALLENGE and spread the message of STEM . Students of our school around ages of 11–14 joined us and we demonstrate them about STEM and FIRST

My team has been selected to  participate in  FIRST Global Challenge  which is a US-based nonprofit public charity established by the founder of  FIRST  (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), Dean Kamen.  THEIR MISSION  is to  inspire leadership  and  innovation in youth  from all nations by empowering them through education in STEM. FIRST Global brings future STEM leaders together in a collaborative competition, using robots to instill self-confidence, skills, imagination, courage, and vision in kids, emphasizing the importance and excitement of STEM education. Team India, a group of five talented students, is honored to represent their diverse and culturally rich country at the prestigious FIRST Global Challenge in Singapore. Their journey started with Team Legogoa, a parents-led community club dedicated to robotics, which has been making waves in the field for the past six years. Amidst tough competition, th...

As part of the selection process to select the team to represent India at the FIRST Global Challenge, M/s STEM Education trust the organise of FGC in India launched a STEM challenge. The participating teams had the build a contraption to throw tennis ball the farthest without using using any external power source. Your challenge is to design and build a device that can throw a tennis ball the farthest distance without using any external energy source. The ball-throwing-device can rely on principles of conservation of energy and must be built using only the materials specified below. MATERIALS TO BE USED TO BUILD THE DEVICE: (1) Plastic pipe (such as PVC or electrical pipe) — max 2 inches in diameter, and 20 feet in total length. PVC Connectors (T and L shaped) may also be used, but for connecting the pipes only. (2) Nuts and bolts (any size or quantity, as required) (3) Newspaper (in any form, no limit on quantity) (4) Cello tape or masking tape (max 5 rolls) and Glue (max 1 kg, any ty...

In my journey, in FTC I learned many things and came across many different challenges. I had to overcome all of these challenges and I learnt a lot in the process.  One of the major things that I learnt was 3d designing. Before I had some minor knowledge of using Fusion 360 but I learnt a lot more during this competition. As the only 3d Designer in the team I had to design many of the major parts we needed for the competition. Here are a few of the things that I designed. Battery Holder To hold the battery to our robot, we needed a holder to store it and help us attach it to the robot. To start, I took the battery measurements by the scale and created a sketch to be the base, then extruded the walls and the base. I made a slot for the wire of the battery to be able to come out.  With the rough design of the battery holder down, I started the refinement of the build and filleted down all the sharp edges. However, if I were to re-design this part, I could count this step as a mi...

As part of the Virtual Museum Competition, i researched on the Brahma Statue of Goa and my research on the statue and 3D design of the statue earned me a position amongst top 15 entries https://www.e-yantra.org/events/ I was pleasantly surprised to receive a Gift pack with certificate, Tshirt, a bag and board game The certificate given by https://eysrc.e-yantra.org/ is surely one to cherish
