A smart water usage ecosystem designed with Arduino and Python, a fitness and nutrition website coded in HTML, a gaming app aimed at enhancing motor skills in children, platforms for virtual fashion assistants for teenage girls, and a teaching tool for interactive physics simulations were among the many creative innovations on display at the Personal Project Exhibition 2025 at Victorious Kidss Educares (VKE). Featuring 67 diverse projects, the event provided a platform for students to showcase their hard work and passion while addressing real-world issues and exploring personal interests.
Students overcame personal challenges, such as conquering stage fright through live musical performances on the guitar and keyboard. Others explored entrepreneurial ventures, like a business selling personalised laptop covers, or develop practical skills, like designing a dress using recycled materials. Creativity and self-expression shone in projects such as learning Braille to transcribe poetry and crafting original poems in diverse styles.
A participant, Sanjith Shyam of MYP 5, said, “I was overwhelmed with the interest shown by visitors towards my project, which was to design and build a UAS-based Cessna crop-duster able to release and spray pesticides on small agricultural land parcels.”
Bhavika Shah, another MYP 5 student, wrote a research paper on the impact of lifestyle choices on the incidence and complications of diabetes. “I conducted original research with 100 diabetic patients and wrote an official research paper that was sent for publication with results that provide certain lifestyle choices that help mitigate incidence and reduce complications of type 2 diabetes. During this process, I interacted with experts in the field of medicine, and as a medical aspirant, I learned a lot about my future career. This personal project opportunity gave me immense clarity and motivation for pursuing the medical field,” said Bhavika.
Aakriti Gupta, an MYP 5 student, said, “I created a picture book for emotional regulation, specifically designed for children with Down syndrome, and one of the most fulfilling things was being able to explain the inspiration behind my project. The exhibition allowed me to present my creative process, the challenges I faced along the way, the techniques I used throughout the journey, and my final product.”Other projects, such as hosting an authentic English Afternoon Tea and creating Hawaiian-inspired paper-mâché art, explored global cultural practices. President of VKE, Robbin Ghosh, said, “Through these themes, the exhibition highlighted the breadth of student interests and their relevance to contemporary issues. Visitors were impressed by the creativity, technical expertise, and passion displayed by the students, as well as their ability to navigate challenges over the six-month project timeline.”
