Pak students develop first-ever hovercraft
When it comes to the talent, we Pakistanis dont say it rather mean it. When you talk of proficiency; we stand distinguished and dignified despite shortcomings.
Even lack of resources and deprivations; cannot deter our way, when we are determined to achieve any milestone. Our talented chaps can vigorously reach the target and win prestige and distinction for the country globally.
This time the laurels were won by Mohammad Naeem Khan, Zaki Hussain and Mohammad Qasim - the second-year students from Sir Syed Science College, Rawalpindi, by developing countrys first-ever hovercraft. A project sponsored by Intel under Intel ISEF Awards, made these students to excel in the field of technology to develop this machine having capability to lift weight upto 350 kilograms.
Jubilant to be inventor of the first-ever hovercraft, they feel proud to be Pakistanis.
We are happy. We feel pride to win laurels for our country and becoming forerunner in this field, they expressed unanimously, manifesting the same spirit that made them achieve this target.
Now we are preparing to visit United States to participate in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). We would enlighten the world of the talent, we Pakistanis have, they added.
The visionary students will be exhibiting their project at the fair later this month.
ISEF happens to be the only global science competition for students in grades 9-12. This years programme will include a record number of 1,557 high school students from 51 countries presenting 1,241 projects. The finalists are selected annually from more than 550 affiliated fairs around the world. Each affiliated fair can send its top two individual projects and one team project to the fair.
We see great potential in our youth. It is just the matter of harnessing it, the optimist inventors observed whose achievement has validly been lauded by experts.
Hammad Hassan, speaks volumes of these guys. An expert over the subject, Hammad defines their work as a great job. These students have done a brilliant job. It was not an easy task, as there were a number of essential designs and construction principles they had to adhere. But with some good guidelines or instructions, some handiness with tools, time and patience, success is guaranteed. Of course, you can always buy one instead of developing a new one, he added.
