The Physical Computing Club (PCC) continued its journey of innovation and experiential learning this academic year with great enthusiasm and dedication. Following the success of its inaugural year, the club once again brought together a group of curious and motivated students who share a passion for technology, electronics, and problem-solving.

Under the guidance of our Math and Computer Science teacher, students met regularly to explore the concepts of physical computing through hands-on activities. Throughout the year, members of the club were involved in brainstorming ideas, selecting meaningful real-life problems, gathering electronic and mechanical components, designing circuits, and writing and debugging code using microcontrollers such as Arduino. This process helped students strengthen their skills in logical thinking, teamwork, creativity, and communication.

The efforts of the students culminated in the Physical Computing Club Project Exhibition held on 10th November 2025. The exhibition provided a platform for students to proudly showcase their working models to teachers, administrators, and fellow students. Visitors moved from one project to another as the creators confidently explained the objectives, working principles, and real-world applications of their models. The interactive demonstrations sparked curiosity among the viewers and encouraged many younger students to take an interest in technology and innovation.

The exhibition highlighted a wide range of projects focused on safety, automation, convenience, and smart living. The projects displayed during the exhibition were:

  • LPG and Flame Detector: An automatic system using Arduino to detect gas leakage and fire, providing early warnings to enhance safety.
  • Rain Detection System: A smart solution that detects rainfall and automatically pulls clothes inside the roof to protect them from getting wet.
  • Smart Waste Disposal System: A system that identifies dry and wet waste and separates them into different compartments for better waste management.
  • Fingerprint-Based Door Lock System: A secure access system that opens doors only for authorized fingerprints.
  • Digital Alarm Clock: An electronic alarm clock that rings at a user-defined time.
  • Automatic Water Dispenser: A contactless system that dispenses water automatically when a glass is placed near the sensor.
  • Aeroplane Simulation Using Hand Gestures: A creative project that controls a paper plane or on-screen airplane using hand movements.
  • Robotic Arm: A mechanical arm capable of picking and placing objects, demonstrating automation and control.
  • Smart Home Automation System: A system that allows users to control home appliances using a mobile phone application.

The Physical Computing Club Project Exhibition 2025 was a remarkable success. It not only showcased the technical abilities of the students but also reflected their confidence, curiosity, and innovative thinking. The exhibition inspired many students to explore the world of coding and electronics and reinforced the idea that learning becomes more meaningful when theory is combined with hands-on practice.

The club looks forward to nurturing more young innovators in the coming years and continuing its mission to code, create, and connect.
