        gifts worth Rs. 1 Lakh at the illustrious
        Monash University for their edible cutlery
        project “Cup to Cud”.

        The projects this year included a bio-turner
        where sensors were explored to produce a
        moist bio-compost, a soap from a waste
        refined  oil  to  remove  stains,  citri-enzyme
        made from fruit peels to manufacture
        cleansers. All these three projects are being
        planned to be taken forward and
        implemented as school-led projects. The
        other four included a bionic leaf to synthesize
        oxygen from the ocean water, a piezo electric
        tile to produce electricity while walking, a
        biodegradable  sanitary  pad  and  synthetic
        beads to produce lactose-free milk.
