Tech meets innovation at fest

Jamshedpur: Innovation was the buzzword at the two-day Tech Fest organised by Tata Steel Technical Institute in Burmamines, which concluded on Saturday.
Over 130 students from 25 city schools and colleges demonstrated innovative scientific models.
Students from NTTF RD Tata Technical Institute created a winnowing machine, which requires a person to paddle a cycle to operate a fan, which in turn winnows food grains.
"Farmers winnows using fans that consume electricity. So we came up with this new model that is user-friendly and saves electricity," said Ratan Agarwal, a student of NTTF.
Students were equally thrilled to transform their ideas into scientific models.
"We have been organising the festival from last year. We also learn a lot from other participants," said Akash Manjhi, a student of Tata Steel Technical Institute.
