The innovative spirit of students came to the fore at the science competition-cum-exhibition titled ‘BrainQuest 2019’ organised by E-Skool at Nutana Ravindra Mantapa on the MGM College campus here on Saturday.
There were various models on display at the exhibition. A team comprising of Class 10 students Sumedh, Abhishekh and Akshay of Anantheshwara English-Medium School demonstrated the use of soil moisturiser equipment. Their model showed the amount of moisture in soil and how this information is beneficial to people and farmers.
Four Class 8 students – Rania, Adhya, Harsha and Viraj – of Trinity Central School made a ‘bucket composter’ model. They explained how the composter can help in disposing of kitchen waste in an eco-friendly manner, dealing with even the smell of the waste.
Unnath Shetty, Rohith K. and Sejal Thekkatte, Class 9 students of Little Rock Indian School, Brahmavar, designed a ‘water filtrator’ model. They showed how it can help in removing chemicals and other impurities to get clean water.
A student team from Green Park Central School, Hiriyadka, demonstrated the greenhouse effect. The model designed by Anvitha, Namitha Poojary, Rajashree, Sinchana Bhat and Praneeta demonstrated how plants grow in different circumstances.
The participants were all praise for the event. Mr. Abhishekh said he and his teammates learnt a lot from the other models and experiments at the event.
This was the 15th straight edition of BrainQuest. Poornima Kamath, director of E-Skool, said this year, the event focussed on impressing upon students the importance of environmental protection. “The intent was to make students aware of the role science and technology can play in the conservation of environment,” she said.
