Decorating Home ornaments Made using Reused Pollutant Materials

By ICT, Science & Robotics (srobotics@smack.sc.ug)

Pollution of the environment by pollutant materials like plastics and glass bottles is a problem. our project aims to solve this problem by  encouraging people to be creative and make decorative home ornaments which encourages them not to throw away plastics all the time

MANUFACTURING SHOES FROM PLASTICS AND OTHER NON BIO-DEGRADABLE WASTE

By ICT, Science & Robotics (srobotics@smack.sc.ug)

The project will mainly involve collecting materials considered as waste in the environment and synthesizing them basing on their different properties from using MATERIALS IN CHEMISTRY to make properly fitting, flexible and waterproof shoes. This project was inspired by the stories that friends told us about people in their villages suffering from different diseases in their feet like jiggers (tungiasis) and anaemia from hookworm infestation. The source of information on these diseases is the World Book Encyclopedia.The purpose for this project is to provide people with shoes, reducing the risk and number of people that acquire feet diseases, through sensitizing and availing them with information on how to locally make  affordable shoes using readily available materials in our environment.

Exploring Bioplastics: A Sustainable Alternative

By ICT, Science & Robotics (srobotics@smack.sc.ug)

Plastic pollution is a significant environmental challenge due to the non-biodegradable nature of conventional petroleum-based plastics. This study explores bioplastics as a sustainable alternative by investigating the production and properties of starch-based bioplastics. Using corn-starch and potato starch, along with glycerine and vinegar as plasticizing agents, we synthesized bioplastics and assessed their strength, flexibility, and biodegradability. Our findings indicate that potato starch-based bioplastics exhibited better strength and flexibility compared to corn-starch-based samples, while both types degraded significantly faster than traditional plastics. Although bioplastics offer an eco-friendly solution, their durability remains a challenge. Further research and development could enhance their properties, making them viable for broader applications and contributing to global efforts in reducing plastic waste.

Braille_Periodic_Table_Research_Paper

By ICT, Science & Robotics (srobotics@smack.sc.ug)

The study of inorganic chemistry presents significant challenges for visually impaired students due to the lack of accessible learning materials. Traditional periodic tables and chemical notation systems are primarily designed for sighted individuals, limiting the engagement and comprehension of blind learners. This research aims to develop a Braillebased periodic table and a corresponding radical system to enable visually impaired students to study inorganic chemistry effectively. The proposed system utilizes Braille symbols to represent chemical elements, their properties, and radicals in a structured and intuitive format. The study explores existing accessibility technologies in chemistry education, analyzes the limitations of current Braille adaptations, and introduces an innovative approach tailored for the unique needs of blind learners. The expected outcome is an inclusive learning tool that enhances chemistry education accessibility, fosters independent learning, and aligns with universal design principles. The research further investigates usability through expert reviews and preliminary trials with visually impaired students. This paper discusses the development methodology, potential challenges, and recommendations for widespread implementation in educational institutions.

A SOLAR TRACKER POWER AND LIGHTING SYSTEM

By ICT, Science & Robotics (srobotics@smack.sc.ug)

1. Increased Energy Efficiency- Maximized Sunlight Exposure: Solar trackers can follow the sun's trajectory, allowing panels to maintain an optimal angle relative to the sun. This significantly boosts energy production compared to fixed installations. 2. Advanced Technology Integration- Sensors and Automation: Trackers use sophisticated sensor technologies (like photodiodes) and automated control systems to detect sunlight intensity and make real-time adjustments. This high level of automation enhances their efficiency. 3. Dual-Axis Capability - Two-Dimensional Tracking: Dual-axis trackers can adjust both azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical), allowing them to optimize for seasonal changes in the sun's position, which improves performance throughout the year.
