City Council recently received a unique pitch as a push for renewable energy in Jacksonville: A hydroelectric generator, plated in cast iron, and attached to the posts on major piers with the ability to power homes along the coast.
Between the ages of 10 and 12, Stewart, Claire Crum, Fletcher Farwell, Damian Kyrychenko, Dilan Patel, Trinity Eden and Aaron Huynh make up the team.
The students talked over Zoom with an engineer in Norway through The National Hydropower Association who told them their idea may have to wait just a while longer. The EngiNerds, the group for sixth to eighth graders, compete on their own ideas, designs and codes. From there, they can join the high school students in the Shiva program who use metal parts to build robots and with Java coding methods.
Parikh was on the EngiNerds team when he was their age and even had the opportunity to go to a competition in Japan because of the team’s design – but like many plans made in early 2020, he didn’t get the chance. “I saw it [robotics] more like personality development for them,” Sankar said. “It gave them the confidence just like what you saw in City Council. … When I saw the benefits in my own daughters, I thought I should do it for their friends and then friends of friends.”
