Talking about his internet-based spy camera, Kuber Arora, a student of Class X at GD Goenka Public School, said, “I have made a spy camera the images of which can be accessed by the users from their android phones, iOS and desktop computers.”

Another student, who is set to represent Amritsar at the national level, Arshdeep Singh, Class XII, Government Senior Secondary School, Khalchian, has modelled an earthquake resistance mechanism. He said, “My model is about disaster resistance. I have talked about the usage of damping systems. My model also highlights the need for having dome shape buildings to avoid disaster.”
