Karachi, 05 April, 2017: After months of building an ultra-energy efficient vehicle and a weekend of intense competition, bright and enthusiastic students of Team Hammerhead from Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute (GIKI) made it to 6th place on the leaderboard at the Shell Eco-marathon 2017, held from March 16-19 in Singapore. This year, the competition was part of Make the Future Festival – one of Shell’s flagship programmes.
Make The Future is a platform for conversation collaboration and innovation around the global energy challenge. The festival housed an interactive display allowing visitors to create energy through movement, gravity and sports. Present at the event were the top 15 young entrepreneurs from across the globe to show how their ideas create a world that can produce much more energy with less CO2. Sanwal Muneer, a 24 year old Engineering graduate from FAST University was also one of the finalists. He is now the CEO of Capture Mobility, a company that produces wind turbines with solar panels that not only power street lights, traffic signals but also absorb carbon pollutants on the highway.
Shell Eco-Marathon in its eighth year challenged students from universities across the Asian region that are passionate about developing innovative mobility solutions to design, build and drive the most energy efficient cars on real city streets. Student teams participated in either of two categories – Prototype: Futuristic and highly aerodynamic vehicles or Urban Concept: highly economical and innovative vehicles that resemble today’s cars.
The vehicles that the teams chose utilized any of the following energy types to compete: Internal Combustion Engine (ICE): Gasoline, diesel, ethanol (biofuel), Gas to Liquid (GTL) fuel made from natural gas, CNG (compressed natural gas) battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell. The car designed by Team Hammerhead competed in the battery electric prototype category. They used Lithium Ion battery module (BN4820LK 48V 20Ah) with an IR2110 MOSFET Driver circuit and a Motor of MY1020z 450watt 48volt.
Another accolade the young students brought home was by the PNEC NUST team who was successful in winning the off-track Communication Award for their aggressive and engaging PR campaign to promote Shell Eco-marathon and showcase their engineering brilliance demonstrated in their car design, as a means to create awareness and motivate other young aspiring future engineers to participate next year.
While speaking at the occasion, Seemi Saad, Head of External Relations, Shell Pakistan Limited said: “This is a fantastic platform that fosters innovation and provides the opportunity to our Pakistani students to participate, learn and compete with other student teams from across the region. Through Shell Eco-Marathon, we encourage young students to build fuel efficient cars of the future.”
Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2017 is a visible demonstration of Shell’s commitment to help the world meet its growing energy needs in a responsible way by working together with students, partners and other stakeholders.
Karachi – March 09, 2017: Keeping in focus the objective of inducing the culture of Science learning and promoting the concept of critical thinking amongst children at every level of society The Dawood Foundation (TDF) hosted Science Fun Show at its adopted school Govt. Girls Primary School Rahat-e-Islamia. The show was conducted by Pakistan Science Club (PSC) with the support of Alif Ailaan.
The show comprised of two different segments; The Science Show and handson activities. The simple yet fun-filled science experiments mesmerized young students as they watched the wonders of Science. Some experiments such as Elephant Toothpaste, Balance stick, Burst balloon with lemon, Inertia activities, Water in upside down bottle not only amused students but also educated them to learn the simple concept of Science like pressure, chemical reactions, forces, and balance. Children designed the cardboards helicopters in the hands on activity. This experiential involvement helped them to learn Science with entertainment.
“I liked all experiments but especially the Elephant Toothpasteis my favorite one. The big and beautiful outburst of coloured foam from flaskwas a surprise when I saw it for the first time. The beauty of this chemical reaction is that the foam comes out of nowhere. That’s fun!” said Osama a student of second grade.
Talking about the objectives, Hina Mehtab, the Principal of TDF adopted school said, “The primary requirement of the present era is to think critically and learn with fun. As teachers it is our mission to equip children with knowledge so they can thrive in society and play their role in the development of nation.”
Abdul Rauf, President and the Founder of Pakistan Science Club highlighted the importance of such activities and said, “We would like to thank TDF for providing us the opportunity to interact with students. We see a new hope in the faces of children while watching and conducting scientific experiments. Indeed, the enthusiasm of the children is commendable. We believe that if such activities gain momentum in future then the establishment of the Science Museum in Pakistan would be possible provided the government and corporate sectors’ support.”
