A few hours ago the exhibition of the projects has started. About 100 teams of students are presenting their projects to each other, the jury and other interested people.
I just have had a walk through the exhibition and I saw many interesting projects. I talked with two girls from Moldova about their project. It is called: the cleaning of water with the help of algae cladophora glomerata kutzing and chaetomorpha linum kutzing. For me, with my little knowledge of these subjects, it first sounded very complex, but in the end I think it was a very simple, but innovative way to clean filthy water. And there was no waste. At the end the used algae was pressed and could be used as paper. Mmm.. Innovative and environmental friendly.
I also talked with a boy from Vietnam, with Tu le Ngoc. His project was titled: Preparation of activated carbon from scrapcoir in Vietnam by chemical activation method for pollutants in water. He told me that carbon filters the water very good, but because the rescources of carbon are decreasing, there has to be found a new solution. His solution: use the fibers of the coconut. Vietnam has a very long coastal line with a lot of coconut trees, so there are resources enought. I am curious if it will become the new method for water filtering.
If I had to mention al interesting projects, it would be a list of 100 projects, because they are all interesting. The students are so motivated and are so enthusiastic about their projects. That's very nice to see.
I hope to tell you more about the projects soon. I'll keep you posted.
