Some students of Worawora Senior High School have created a new technological device in hopes of curbing flooding throughout the country during the rainy seasons.
According to them, the device serves two other purposes aside from keeping floods in check.
Speaking to the host of High Schools Africa, one of the students, Blessing Amoah explained all three functions of the device.
The primary function of the device is its ability to detect when an area is on the verge of flooding.
Another area the device seeks to help improve is the agriculture sector. How so? This device detects the amount of moisture in the soil to inform farmers on how to properly go about their irrigations at any given time.
Domestically, the device will also help homes and individuals to be supplied with only the adequate amount of water that they would need. This will go a long way to prevent wastage in our various homes.
The students are positive about the future of this new device and are hopeful the right organizations will come on board to assist them with funding, guidance and the right support which will take this project into its next phase.
Clearly, STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) which used to be the most “fearful” area of study in Ghana is gradually becoming a fascinating one.
The future of invention and innovation could be more promising if the government and other relevant stakeholders put in more effort to encourage more students to pursue and explore more opportunities in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
