Annual Curriculum
12 PROJECTS.
12 MONTHS.
ZERO EXCUSES.
Each project is chosen to be achievable within a school semester window, buildable on an accessible budget, and designed to make a measurable difference — to a community, an environment, or a system.
Projects rotate annually. The list below represents one complete year's impact calendar. Students analyse, design, build, test, and document every project — no shortcuts.
01
January
City Air Quality Drone Network
Deploy an autonomous UAV with air quality sensors to map PM2.5, CO₂, and VOC hotspots across a 5 km radius in your city.
Aeronautics + IoT
Real pollution heatmaps delivered to local municipality for policy action.
02
February
Smart School Safety System
An IoT mesh network that simultaneously detects fire, gas leaks, and unauthorized access — alerting students and staff in under 3 seconds.
IoT
Deployable in any school. Replaces commercial safety systems with a student-built solution.
03
March
Gesture-Controlled Robotic Hand
Build a 5-DOF robotic hand that mirrors human hand gestures in real time using flex sensors on a glove — foundation for prosthetic research.
Robotics
Demonstrated assistive tech capability for differently-abled students.
04
April
CanSat Atmospheric Probe
Fit a temperature, pressure, humidity, and altitude sensor array into a soda-can-sized package and launch it via weather balloon. Analyze the descent data.
Aeronautics
Students collect original atmospheric data up to 3,000m altitude.
05
May
AI Traffic Signal Optimizer
Camera-based system that counts vehicles per lane and dynamically adjusts traffic signal timing, reducing average wait time by 30–40%.
Computer Vision + IoT
Pilot at one school-adjacent intersection — measured & documented improvement.
06
June
Flood Early Warning Mesh
LoRa-connected water level sensors at key points upstream. Triggers evacuation alerts 4–6 hours before flooding reaches inhabited areas.
IoT
Deployed near a local river. Zero false positives in test season.
07
July
Autonomous Vertical Farm Bot
A self-watering, self-lighting, nutrient-monitoring vertical farm driven by sensors and an edge AI model that detects plant stress from leaf images.
Robotics + IoT
Grows 3× more food per square meter vs. traditional setup. Donated produce to school canteen.
08
August
Earthquake P-Wave Alert System
Seismic sensors detect the first (less dangerous) P-wave and trigger alarms 10–30 seconds before the destructive S-wave arrives. Networked across school buildings.
IoT
Gives students and staff a critical evacuation head start. Installed and live.
09
September
Wind Energy Harvester (Rooftop Kite Rig)
Design an aerodynamic tethered kite system that generates usable electricity from rooftop wind — targeting 5–15W for continuous low-power device charging.
Aeronautics
Powers a classroom's phone charging station entirely via wind.
10
October
AI Waste Segregation Robot
A robotic arm with a camera and a trained classification model that automatically sorts incoming waste into wet, dry, and hazardous bins at 90%+ accuracy.
Robotics + CV
Deployed at school canteen entrance. Reduces manual sorting effort by 80%.
11
November
River Health Monitoring ROV
An underwater drone that tests pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and temperature in local rivers or lakes — sending data wirelessly to a dashboard.
Robotics + IoT
Submitted water health report to Pollution Control Board with original field data.
12
December
Smart Neighbourhood Grid Monitor
IoT devices installed across 10+ homes that track real-time power usage, identify waste patterns, and suggest or automate load balancing to cut collective bills.
IoT
15–25% reduction in electricity bills documented across pilot neighbourhood.
