According to Emeka Okoye who is part of the convener and a tech enthusiast, a village school in Akwa in Anambra State has broken the norm to emerge as one of the most gifted sets of kids ever seen. The school was said to be located in a typical village with no access to internet, computers, and electricity, they have made some amazing and interesting discovery, part of a village school innovation that has never heard "STEM" or "JETS" are:
1. Electricity Generator powered by water
2.Waste Digester
3.Torch from potatoes.
4. Rocket Launcher
The generator generates 610 watts of electricity and it has been tested for about 5 hours, the most amazing thing about this generator is that it is powered by water, a discovery that none has ever discovered ever in the world. The digester breaks waste including plastics into different useful and valuable components that can be used by for other things, they also make locally made batteries from discarded Dettol bottles. Each cell generates more than 3 watts of electricity. These are some of their works that are showcase for the exhibition.
1. A generator that runs on pure water generates and generates 610watts of power.
This generator generates 610 watts of electricity and it has been tested for about 5 hours also this generator runs on pure water and generates 610watts of power.
2. A Digester that breaks waste including plastics into different useful and valuable components that can be used by for other things.
This is a village made waste decomposer being made by the students.
3. This is a rocket launcher from a village school
This rocket was made by the students from the village and interesting, it was sourced from a local material.
4. Locally made batteries from discarded Dettol bottles. Each cell generates more than 3 watts of electricity.
Each of these village made batteries generate 2.33v of electricity. So that container has 23v in all.
5. A torchlight powered by potatoes. It was made in a school that doesn't have beautiful classrooms.
According to Mr. Okoye, the kids have never heard about the fourth industrial revolution. They have never even heard about the first one that says a lot about them, they definitely need to be groomed and catch young.
