The project entitled “Energy Square for Cattle,” created by Mahnoor Hassan, Shiza Gulab and Bushra Shahed of the Institute of Computer and Management Sciences in Peshawar, took fourth prize, and a $500 award, in the Animal Sciences Category at the Grand Awards Ceremony of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh.

The event is the world’s largest pre-college science fair.

Hassan and Gulab, who were present to collect their prize, explained that their project is good for livestock in times of a natural disaster.

“People think of themselves in times of disaster before animals,” said Gulab, while referring to the recent floods in Pakistan. “This square makes it easier to look out for the well-being of livestock also,” she added.

The girls said that just a few licks of their energy square controlled diseases, increased milk production and increased weight in cattle after just 28 days.

The squares are a dry mix of a variety of ingredients, such as mulberry, urea and calcium, which provide vitamins and protein to the animal.

“Because people who have animals are usually poor, we have created an affordable option for them,” said Gulab.

The fair, held between May 13-18, concluded on Friday afternoon in a confetti haze as the top prizewinner was announced. The winner was 15-year-old Jack Andraka from the US state of Maryland, who created a Non-Invasive Pancreatic Cancer Detection Tool.

“This competition encourages millions of students to engage their skills for innovation and develop promising solutions for global challenges,” said Executive Director of the Intel Foundation Wendy Hawkins.

God bless them, look at the people from other countries in the background who are probably thinking 'how can Pakistanis be so smart'?

You have any more pictures of the event?
