These are the questions that a team of students from PCKG Government Higher Secondary School in Kodambakkam sought to find answers for: and they came up with a biometric voting machine. And now, they have been invited to meet the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, on Children’s Day in New Delhi. Through the Biometric voter machine which we have designed, people only need to go through a fingerprint or a retinal scan. The biometric voting machine is among the many projects that students in the school have been encouraged to work on, in the Atal Tinkering Lab which has been set up in the school under NITI Aayog’s Atal Innovation Mission (AIM). “Hands on experiments and innovations are important for students to imbibe concepts well,” she said.
