Competitions under Helios 2012 are designed specifically to encourage young talents to ponder on current day-to-day energy issues.
Even as IIT-B engineers constantly strive to provide energy solutions for the new millennium, Helios 2012, the brand new technology festival initiated by IITians at the department of energy, science and engineering, marks a step in the right direction.
“While the festival seeks hardcore technology solutions from fresh talents, it also aims at finding a general understanding amongst the global youth in terms of energy calculations and climate consciousness,” said Prathamesh Dashpute, media manager for Helios 2012.
“Energy is currently a hot topic, due to the impact it has on our daily lives. Many people are interested in this field. Helios will cater to these people’s interest,” said Dashpute.
Competitions under Helios 2012 are designed specifically to encourage young talents to ponder on current day-to-day energy issues, and come up with out-of-the box solutions. Events such as Green Biz cover the issue of converting sustainable energy technologies into good business strategies. Eta is another competition whose objective is to improve the energy efficiency of our day-to-day technologies.
Young minds will have a real chance to shine at the fest when they are exposed to the problems faced by the energy industry and will attempt to find feasible solutions.
Dashpute said, “Exhibitions are the medium through which people can stay abreast of the upcoming technology, also promoting energy awareness among them. This festival will showcase technological advancements in the energy sector such as Clique Consultants’ Paraboloid concentrator; the Industrial Design Centre’s lightweight and energy-efficient bike design, and LED lighting model; and Elecssol’s solar panels and tracking systems. A workshop on solar cooking will also be held.”
