Bicycle BlenderA team of students built this bicycle powered blender on a hot summer week. The main feature of the project is that it can be easily retrofitted onto any bicycle without any tools or fixtures. After building the prototype, the boys shared a cool mango smoothie with all the passersby, fascinating them. Many of their 'visitors' now want one built for them too!

As children come up with robust solutions to the age old problems in the community, the elders and the parents join hands and co-create products. An interesting aspect of this interaction is that the parents become the ambassadors of the product, proud of their child's innovation. Here you can see a group of boy co- create an iteration of the solar rice grader, with the local black smith. Such synergy between the artisan and students gives productive outcomes of learning from each other.
