One of the highlights of the Dandii Boru Science & Innovation Expo was a fully functional, beta-test-ready website called MediMart, created by a duo from the 12th grade. This innovative platform allows users to order both over-the-counter and prescription medications online, demonstrating a smart and practical approach to digital healthcare solutions.
Another standout project came from a 12th-grade female duo, who developed Meraf, a prescription-based eBook platform. This project was not only well-executed but also deeply insightful in its concept. The creators recognized the increasing screen time among young people and aimed to transform their habits from destructive to productive. Their effort to encourage educational engagement through digital reading is commendable.
Among the most exciting exhibits was a fire-sensing and fire-suppressing mini robot, built by 8th-grade students. This working prototype showcased practical applications for fire prevention and emergency response, making it one of the most engaging and fun entries at the expo.
Equally impressive was a smart glass for the visually impaired, equipped with haptic feedback, proximity sensors, and additional assistive technologies. This innovation helps bridge the sensory gap for visually impaired individuals. Alongside this, another group of 8th-grade students developed a guiding stick with haptic feedback, sensors, and an inbuilt cellular GPS connection to enhance navigation and safety. This tool not only helps prevent falls but also provides exact positioning in case of emergencies, ensuring immediate assistance when needed.
Middle school students introduced an anti-cheating tool for online exams, designed with such high user engagement that it could potentially be implemented in national exams if education ever shifts entirely online. They also developed a survey tool, integrated with their anti-cheating system, offering advanced features beyond existing competitors—a remarkable attempt at creating a fully-fledged, market-ready product.
The most creative project at the expo was a prototype for an ocean-cleaning device, which combines submarine and excavator functionalities to clean both shallow and deep-sea areas. This project showcased an innovative approach to environmental conservation, addressing the global issue of ocean pollution with a practical, technology-driven solution.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to the parents and students who attended the exhibition. But most importantly, we appreciate the teachers working behind the scenes, not only helping these students bring their ideas to life but also guiding them to refine and improve their projects. Their constant encouragement and mentorship pushed students just enough to ensure they consistently elevate their innovations to the next level.
