SWAT:\u00a0 With a twinkle in her eyes, Ekta an eighth grader expressed her excitement, \u201cRobo-Sapiens is our group name and we are going to display our first ever functional model, based on Arduino platform, in the upcoming expo. We have completed it after working on it for about ten days.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ekta Mohan was busy in making a science model as part of her project for the first-ever Arduino expo, in Pakistan, titled \u201cExhibit Your Stem Talent\u201d, which is going to be held at Swat on November 1st, organized by SKOOL21, Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The Robo-Sapiens were working on \u2018Automatic Washbasin Water Tap\u2019 project with an objective, to not only save water but also stop the spread of Covid-19 pandemic. \u201cWhen you put your hands just bellow the water tap, water starts flowing automatically and stops flowing when you remove your hands,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

Humama Ahmad, Noorul Emaan Khan and Sana Ali are the other members of Robo-Sapiens.<\/p>\n

Similarly, a group of boys comprising of Abbas Nasir, Faisal Khan, Noorul Haq and Zahid Siddiqui and known as Alpha was also busy in putting parts on their project with the same idea but with addition to automatic hand wash and drier.<\/p>\n

Tech Squad, another group of young boys, was engaged in gluing an Arduino board, infrared sensor and other tools on a water pot, a project for the expo. \u201cDrinking water is an essential asset to save life but the world is facing shortage of it. We have designed an \u2018Automatic Water Dispenser\u2019 to save the precious water,\u201d The group said, adding that it would start filling a glass and then stop automatically when water reach up to the brim.<\/p>\n

Creative Minds, a group of enthusiastic young girls, was also busy in creating an innovative project \u2013 a \u2018Smart Dustbin\u2019. \u201cNow, you have no need to touch the dustbin lid, open it and drop the trash into it but it will open its mouth for your trash once you get closer to it,\u201d said Sara Khalid, adding, \u201cWe have to avoid touching anything these critical days of Covid-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

Janvi Kour and Uroosh Gul are the other members of Creative Minds.<\/p>\n

The Innovators, is a group with innovative ideas running in their minds. Muhammad Davood, Idrees Kamal, Muhammad Maaz, Arsalan Khan, Saad Khan and Shahkor Khan in the group were occupied in their \u2018Automatic Gas Detector\u2019 project. They said every year many lives were lost due to gas leakage. \u201cThe device we are working on, will start sounding alarm after detecting the presence of gases,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

Aysha Mumtaz, Kashmala Qazi and Gulalai Ali belong to a group known as Spark. They were working on \u2018Automatic Shoe Cleaner\u2019 as a project for the expo. \u201cOur machine will start cleaning and shining a shoe once a user puts it closer to the brush and will automatically stop when the shoe is removed from it,\u201d said Ayesha Mumtaz, adding that the machine would save time and enable students to look tidy and clean.<\/p>\n

Technocrats, a group of passionate young boys, was working on an \u2018Automatic Emergency Braking System\u2019 for automobiles aiming to minimize road accidents and save lives.<\/p>\n

Various other groups of young avid boys and girls were also actively involved in their projects to showcase them in the upcoming Arduino Expo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
