Published

The marine life project, which was submitted by students from Modern School, Vashi, has achieved an incredible feat: it was named the “Top Project” at the Changemakers of Tomorrow Global Event, which took place in Bangalore.

The goal of the Shell NExplorers-organized event is to bring the next generation together to move forward in the direction of a sustainable future. Students Pranjal Umesh Bhilare and Anushka Panchal, who represent Maharashtra, presented their creative Bio Bloom Investigator project, which tackles the problem of algal blooms that obstruct sunlight from reaching the sea floor, endangering marine life.

As part of their project, the students had to construct a robot that could identify and eliminate algae from the sea’s surface, allowing sunlight to reach deeper into the water and sustain undersea habitats. This discovery not only demonstrates the pupils’ inventiveness but also improves the standing of the state and their school.

The Modern School’s idea stood out among the more than 300,000 children that participated from across the nation, receiving top marks from the NX Shark judges. The school will receive cash as part of the recognition to open a robotics lab.

Experts, business executives, and trailblazers gathered for the Changemakers of Tomorrow event, launched by Madhu Bangarappa, Karnataka’s Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, to honour and encourage student-led projects for a better future.
