GRADE 8

Grade 8 Students were introduced to the concept that

energy makes our world brighter, and creating a

brighter future means using renewable energy that can

offer a cleaner and greener future for our planet.

Artificial leaves, once fully developed, will allow us to

create and store hydrogen, just as real leaves help

trees to create and store glucose. But how do they work

and how might we use them? Students explored the

science of photosynthesis and hydrogen production,

before generating creative ideas for integrating

electric leaves and other forms of biomimicry into the

built environment of the city of the future.

The students perceived the fact

that when they come together,

extraordinary things happen.

Eventually the DDD, turned out to

be a grand success, as by the end of

the day the GIHS students came up

with better ideas, better experiences

and were able to demonstrate

innovative techniques for a better

and sustainable future for all.
