Happy Plant

In this technology-based project to promote sustainability and positive education students used Google dialogue flow and digital tinkering to design an automated plant that spreads positivity.

The program was executed for the promotion of the EXPO 2020 school programme, “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future” and its sub-themes. Happy Plant demonstrates how technology can bring a better change to the green world. Happy plant emphasizes the significance of integrating sustainability into everyone’s personal life.

Our student Kalyani Baiju as an EXPO 2020 School Champion says “The project “Sustainability @IHS” is one of the examples of Expo’s objectives in which one of the blocks in my school was powered with solar panels, which gives a clear illustration of the usage of green energy. Another initiative was taken to plant 1000 saplings in the school premises to develop positive

habits among the students. Have you ever talked to plant? The project “Happy Plant” enables people to communicate with a digitally modified plant regarding expo 2020 and Happiness Index, which is a combination of mobility and digital education.

Expo Young Innovators Programme

To tap into the creative side and put the students’ innovations on display, we at The Indian High School hold several innovation challenges related to the EXPO 2020 themes. For the EXPO 2020 Young Innovators program, there were 12 submissions by IHS students. As instructed by the EXPO 2020 school program the best from each cycle (5-8, 9-12) were selected and uploaded as the school principal’s selection. Our School students also tapped into their circles of empathy and unleashed their creativity to come up with innovative solutions to everyday challenges, starting with a single napkin sketch.

The selected projects were:

Marine waste collector

I am helping all the marine life in Dubai to collect the marine waste by a marine waste collector. The most visible and disturbing impacts of marine plastics are the ingestion, suffocation and entanglement of hundreds of marine species. Marine wildlife such as seabirds, whales, fishes and turtles, mistake plastic waste for prey, and most die of starvation as their stomachs are filled with plastic debris.

Songstress

I am helping gardens, parks, fields, orchards and gardeners to exterminate/reduce pests harmful to plants by a robot having the size of an insect that moves with ease and sends ultrasonic sound waves in frequencies harmful to most pests and sprays organic pesticides that are toxic to pests or hated by them.
