SRM Amaravati students win laurels – It was a moment of pride for SRM University (AP) when the innovations of its students won laurels at international conference ETHDenver which was organised by Ethereum Foundation. Ethereum Foundation is the largest platform for blockchain technology development.
The students of SRM Amaravati displayed their projects namely ‘UrbanBowl’ and ‘SecureNote’ in an innovative manner at US Blockchain Technology Hackathon held during the conference. The innovative presentation with prototypes got the a bounty of USD 3000. They also won Community Prize for being in the top five.
UrbanBowl was developed by Koushik Bhargav, Pushyamitra, Srinivas Teja and Rohit, students of third year Computer Science Engineering department. This project was about making cities self-sustainable by urban farming on rented places. Considering the American societies, where people have unused places like the backyards, the students developed a prototype of UrbanBowl, a decentralized urban farming platform where people can lease out empty spaces like backyards or basements.
This platform was developed using blockchain technology. Their project also satisfied five UN Sustainable Development Goals namely End Hunger, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Reduction in Forest Loss and Land Degradation, Climate Action and Sustainable Production Pattern. The students received a bounty of USD 500 from SKALE and USD 500 from DAPPHERO for their project.
SecureNote, the second project which won laurels was developed by the team comprising Yoganand and Nikhil (third year students of Electronics and Communication Engineering) and Chaitanya and Abhin (third year students of Computer Science Engineering). They have developed a platform where people’s complaints will not be unnoticed.
The present scenario in Indian Police Station shows that people register their complaints manually and afterward most of the time, those complaints get lost or no action is taken. Students of SRM-AP have developed such a platform where such complaints will be registered and digitized in such a way that they cannot be modified later without bringing it into the notice of all the concerned authorities.
This will make the process more secure as none will be able to alter or modify to complaints without notifying the authorities. They received a bounty of USD 2000 from DAOSTACK for their project.
