Krisha wanted to make a multi musical instrument so she combined strings with a cup in a way that it could be used  as a guitar string, shaker and  a drum. I am sure this musical instrument invented by her will be  aboon a s one can learn so many instruments at one go!
 
 
 
Aarush made a 'Dog Distractor' which would save him from the dogs in his locality. He has made  an equipment which he can fix on his bycycle when he goes cycling and if he is chased by any dog a toy similar to food would fall the moment he presses on the button fixxed on the equipment. This will distract the dog and he can then escape. Now that's super cool!!

Raghav invented a 'Big brother' to help police see if anyone is speeding on the road. He also added areceiver to it that can detect the satellite. this way the ones on a rush on the road will then have to speed up to the nearby police station.
