Annual Curriculum
36 projects.
12 months.
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%.
AI + 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.
AI + Robotics
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.
AI + Robotics
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.
