| Title |
Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Ignited Mind Children Creativity and Innovation Awards, 2020 |
|
|
| Abstract |
"In the memory of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the Honey Bee Network, SRISTI and GIAN have jointly organized an annual competition of innovative ideas and innovations by school-age students.
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Children Creativity Award accepts entries from students up to class 12 and also from school drop- outs. The purpose is to develop a culture of creativity or ‘srijansheelta’ triggered by the “Samvedna (empathy)” among the children to find solutions to the local problems. One reason why some societies progress slower than others is the adjustment/ adaptation that people, in particular youth make with the problems unsolved indefinitely. We are trying to sow the seeds of impatience with inertia.
The Members of the review committee included Profs: P V M Rao (Head, Department of Design, IIT-Delhi), Viswajanani Sattigeri (Head, CSIR-TKDL), Vijaya Sherry Chand (Professor & Chairperson, Ravi J. Matthai Centre for Educational In- novation, IIMA), Ambrish Dongre (Ravi J Matthai Centre for Education Innovation, (IIMA), Anamika Dey (CEO, GIAN, and Visiting faculty, IIMA), Premilla D’Cruz ( IIMA), and Dr Nitin Maurya (Scientist, NIF), SRISTI representative and HBN coordinator.
This year, Honey Bee Network received around 9000 ideas from 22 states & Union Territories. These were reviewed by the eminent scholars at primary stage followed by expert review. Out of these, nine children were selected for awards and six for appreciation. The entries for 2021 are open at ignitedmind@honeybee.org

"An apparatus for measuring the tremor of a patient affected by Parkinson’s disease.
Ms. Jui Abhijit Keska
Class 9, The Orchid School, Baner, Pune, Maharashtra
Problem: Non-availability of an effective device for measuring the tremor of a patient suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
S o lut i o n: A s described in the dr a win g , t h e wearable device will track the 3-D movement of the limb of the patient sending signals to the controller, connected to a database on the cloud. The web application on the cloud can generate the tremor profiling of the patient. The doctor and the patient can directly access the charts. This will help the doctor to understand the intensity, spread, frequency, duration of the tremor and to decide an appropriate medication and physiotherapy plan. Further, the doctor can also get to know the anxiety level of the patient.
TYPHA: An organic water purifier bag
Sejuti Sarkar
Class 9 , Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Howrah,West Bengal
Problem: There is no affordable and simplified solution so far to purify water in small quantities
Solution: After cleansing the roots of Typha plant, we need to gind it to powder form. We can then keep ten grams of this powder sealed in small bag in 500ml water for 25-30 minutes to get a completely purified and potable water. This affordable method of purifying water in small quantities would benefit all sections of the society.
Cycle-operated low cost spray- ing machine
Shreyash Gedam
Class: 9, Dhyaneshwar vidyalaya, salebhata, Bhandara, Maharashtra
Problem: The need for a cost effective spraying machine remains unmet.
Solution: This cycle-operated spraying machine helps in plough- ing as well as spraying operation with much ease minimising the hardship. It is not only a low-cost but also a user-friendly solution.
A device for laying and wrap- ping school mat
Saurav
Class: 9, Govt. Senior Secondary School Camp
Yamunanagar, Haryana
Problem: Absence of an effective solution to do the routine of laying out and wrapping up of sitting mats in schools.
Solution: The student has designed a time saving de- vice to do the chore of laying the sitting mat for serving mid-day meal to children in
schools in proper manner and wrapping it up after use.
Supply of fresh air to the house through electrical fittings
Parthvi
Class 8, Mukund Lal Public School, Yamunanagar, Haryana
Problem: Non-availability of a simplified and cost effective system to provide fresh air to all the rooms of a house.
Solution: We keep pipes of electrical fit- tings with its wires inside the walls in hollow soft plastic pipe of 3 to 6 mm. All the rooms, lobby and kitchen have these wires embedded in the switch boards. We will install an electric pump / blower at the top of the roof with filters to maintain the circulation of fresh air in the pipe. This pump will blow air through that 6mm soft pipe to all rooms, each of which will have an air opening in each electrical switch board. Fresh air will come inside the house through this opening placed in the switch board. This method will increase the oxygen level in the house. Even when we keep our windows and doors closed, we will still continue to experience fresh air flow in the rooms through the soft plastic pipes of electrical fittings.
Reduction of pressure on the ears due to the continuous use of mask
Digantika Bose
Class: 12, Memari V. M. Institation Unit 2, Purba Bardhaman
Problem:
Poor design of masks for longer duration of use by the people in public service.
Solution:
Health workers, police, and users have to wear masks for long durations causing constant pressure on the ears. The student has designed a support system out of a discarded plastic,(or flexible board) which will stick to the back of the head while using the mask. As a result, there will be no pressure behind the ears.
A height adjustable chair for old and physically challenged people
Charmi B pandya
Class: 10, Shri Vividhlaxi Vidhyamandir, palanpur, Gujarat
Problem:
Unfriendly design of chairs for the elderly and physically chal- lenged.
Solution:
Many adults and physically challenged people face a serious discomfort while they attempt to sit on a chair. The student has designed a chair which would help the person to raise its height by the handle placed on the side of the chair. The physically challenged person can sit on such a chair and also can stand by making the backrest of the chair raised to the desired level. This will make it easier for the person with disabilities to get up from the surface of the ground without any hardship.
Mobile operated automatic sanitizing machine
Aniket Prashantrao Kakde
Class: 10, School of Scholars, Yavatmal, Maharashtra
Problem:
Non-availability of a system to operate a sanitizing machine with- out direct human intervention.
Solution:
The student has developed a working model of mobile-operated sanitizer spraying device for use in various public places.
Device to detect and avoid accidental crushing of fingers in the doors
Sree Samhita Gundimeda
Class: 10, Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 3 Gand- hinagar, Gujarat
Problem:
Absence of an effective solution to avoid accidental crushing of our fingers when doors are automatically/forcibly closed
Solution:
We start by connecting IR (infrared sensors) to detect obstacles (a human hand or finger) to the Arduino and feed that information to the micro-controller. The IR sensor has transmitters on the one side [up or down] and the receivers on the other side. We get all the IR transmitters and receivers connected to one Arduino. The IRs detect any object which goes to the Arduino and make the LED glow (as light indication). A voice message or alerts are also other possibilities. The photosensitive sensor or the programmed Arduino can sense the LED light. When IR sensors detect obsta- cles, it signals to the hinges to lock itself or put an obstacle in the middle. If we are using special lock hinges, we may have to design the same for this purpose.
