An Intercollegiate Model Making Competition and Exhibition was organized by the Department of Computer Applications, St. Agnes College, In collaboration with the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) on 20th January 2026 at Avila Hall. The programme was inaugurated at 10:10 a.m. by Principal Sr. Dr M Venissa Ac, Head of the department Mrs. Malavika and Event Coordinator Mrs. Neetha Bangera. The event began with a prayer followed by a welcome address. Around 10:20 a.m., the judges started visiting the models, and students and staff visited the exhibition. The purpose of the exhibition was to encourage students to apply theoretical knowledge practically by developing innovative working models.
The judges for the competition were Mrs. Panchajanyeswari M and Mrs. Preema Pereira.
The Models Presented were
Team 1: Gas Leakage Detection System
This model detects gas leakage using sensors and alerts people through a buzzer and LED. It can also identify fire hazards.
Team 2: Clap switch
This model detects sound and automatically switches on when sound is sensed. It can be used in security and automation systems.
Team 3: Disaster Alert System
This system detects earthquakes, fire, floods, and broken railway tracks and provides timely alerts to prevent accidents.
Team 4: Attendance Using Face Recognition
This system marks attendance by recognizing faces and prevents fake attendance. It also records time and alerts when an unknown person enters.
Team 5: Smart Safety Ring
This device sends the user’s location to emergency contacts using Bluetooth and alerts nearby people with a buzzer.
Team 6: Arduino Human Following Robot
This robot detects and follows human movement using sensors and an Arduino board.
Team 7: Smart Irrigation System
This system checks soil moisture and automatically supplies water when the soil is dry, stopping when moisture is sufficient.
Team 8: Web Server Network
This model explains how data is sent from a user to a web server and retrieved from a database through the internet.
The programme concluded at 3:55 p.m. with the distribution of prizes. The First Prize was awarded to Team 3 Disaster Alert System, the Second Prize to Team 5 Smart Safety Ring, and the Third Prize was jointly awarded to Team 1 for the Gas Leakage Detection System and Team 6 for the Arduino Human Following Robot. The event was highly informative and provided an excellent platform for students to demonstrate their creativity, innovation and technical skills.
