Penang school pupils’ inventions win international awards
GEORGE TOWN, June 24 — By repurposing orange peels and coconut shells into water filter, teeth whitener and odour remover sachets, four pupils from SJK Ladang Prye have won their first international gold medal in the International Science & Invention Fair 2019.
One of the pupils, Harrish Raj Shanker, said that their inventions were inspired by disposed coconut shells and the massive waste of orange peels during Chinese New Year. “It took us a month to come up with all the projects, and we had our teachers to help us out and even the school cleaners,” he told the reporters here.
Meanwhile, their science teacher, N. Pugeneswari said the students had also submitted their school projects for the third edition of the SIRIM Invention and Technology Expo , which was held in April this year in Kedah.
