It not only displays the technology skills gained through different tech baskets offered at School but also harnesses entrepreneurial skills in students. Thus, offers enriching learning experience to students. Our Grade 10 students explored these projects for the first time. One team of Grade 10 came up with the project named "SAFE".
SAFE is a Self-sanitising Automatic Futuristic Effortless bench aiming to solve the sitting problem as it’s the most basic activities which has become a huge hassle and a danger to health due to pandemic. With the rapid increase of diseases to be seen, this bench can also contribute significantly in the future to combat other communicable diseases and create an overall clean environment. It focusses to solve the close contact and sanitising problem especially in the older people and children as they face more significant risk due to their weaker immune system.
