Kochi:

A Class II student of a city school has created a cleaner robot, a robotic hand and a walking stick for the blind. It was recently exhibited along with works by engineering and science graduates at TECH FOSS 2K16.

Saarang Sumesh (7) from Choice School showcased the work in the tech fest organized by the department of computer science and engineering at TocH Institute of Science and Technology (TIST) and Computer Society of India in association with the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Development Centre of the institute.

“Saarang left us surprised even with his presentation skills. He not only displayed the uses of the robot but also explained how he made it. He has made the robots using Lego Robotic Kit,” said TIST principal D Vincent H Wilson.

There were 25 projects on display from engineering and polytechnic students. There was also a hands-on workshop on Android and Arduino for the participants. Other events included a hardware project competition and an ‘App Idea’ contest.
