Students from different schools here on Friday came out
with excellent working models to demonstrate applications of science to
everyday life situation.

A group of students came out
with a solution to streetlights remaining switched on even during
daytime, wasting electricity generated from conventional non-renewable
sources of energy at a time when there is severe power shortage.

They exhibited renewable solar power-based streetlighting system which automatically switches on and off as and when required.

Another
group of students demonstrated how electricity could be generated from
bio-wastes, while yet another group used the bicycle dynamo to recharge
mobile phones. The members of the GenNext explained the importance to
check the severe biodiversity loss and stop degradation of the forests.

“Our
effort is to develop scientific temper among students for them to
mature into good scientists in the future,” said the Andhra Pradesh
Tutorials and Convents Association (APTCA) State Organising Secretary
Prakash Babu. Scientific experiments help students learn quickly than
passive classroom teaching, added senior educationist P.H.G.Krishnam
Raju.

Students from 32 schools participated in the
science fair held at the P.V.R. Municipal Boys High School Grounds here
by the APTCA, added APTCA president P Jali Reddy and convenor Eshwara
Prasad.
