Sweden-India Nobel Memorial Week: Delhi girl wins SHESTem Insta-Reels Challenge 2021
Delhi teenager Sanchi Bansal has won the #SHEStem Insta-Reels Challenge for students, which was held as part of the ongoing Sweden India Nobel Memorial Week 2021, according to a statement.
The online event, a joint initiative of the Swedish Embassy in India and the Atal Innovation Mission, emphasizes the importance of STEM training for young girls and women.
For 2021, ‘She STEM’ was launched with an Instagram Reels challenge for students in the age group 13-17. They were asked to make Instagram Reels about how to make this world a better place to live in as a STEM leader.
“Flushing forward to 2040. As a STEM leader (science, technology, technology, mathematics), how do you make the world a better place through STEM?” Read the message about the challenge.
” With the second #SHEStem event in a row, we show, together with India, our long-term commitment to launch policies and development initiatives that provide growth for both sexes equally. That is what we have been practicing and professing for years on a global level as part of our feminist foreign policy “, the Swedish Ambassador to India quoted Klas Molin in a statement.
The organizers received 600 entries for the challenge.
The winner of the first prize, Bansal, who won a tablet, created a video that posed as a leader for SHESTem from 2040, whose company for clean energy, Greentech Solutions, produced environmentally friendly technology. Two of her company’s projects were about producing network cables that do not emit radiation and electrically biodegradable cloth bags. Bansal was followed by two challengers, Ankur Mukerjee and Sneha Rajesh Tiwari, who both took second place, and Shaurya Karmakar – third prize winner. “Ankur Mukherjee helped the world solve the problem of melting glaciers, while Sneha Rajesh Tiwari, a 2040 marine biologist, works to protect marine vegetation as she explores ways to reduce CO2 emissions into the oceans,” the organizers said in a statement. “Shaurya, the winner of the third prize, gave the healthcare industry a unique solution by introducing a chip that tracks human health, along with suns flying ambulances with doctors,” it added.
The videos, which offered a combination of imagination and reality on the ground, were judged on the basis of novelty in idea, articulation and sustainable vision.
The highlights of the Sweden India Nobel Memorial Week event this year also included an innovation lecture series on sustainable development and the Nobel Prize for Teachers. The memorial week ends on 15 December.
